If you saw Def Leppard last Summer when they were in Orlando, you saw guitarist Vivian Campbell rock the stage. But did you know he was battling cancer at the same time?
Back in 2013, Viv announced he had Hodgkin’s lymphoma and part of his treatment was adding chemotherapy ack in 2023. Unfortunately, due to those treatments, he had to miss their first show of 2015 in Mexico on January 18th.
However, we have some good news to share with you! Vivian gave a health update on how he’s doing and how his treatments are going...
He said, “Thank you all for the recent messages and support. As you all may know, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma several years ago. I recently had a bone marrow transplant as part of my treatment plan, and it’s safe to say that thus far its been a very successful transplant. I just have to keep my head down and my spirits up for the next 100 days of primary recovery.”
Keep kickin’ ass Vivian, we’ll keep you in our prayers here in Orlando!
