Def Leppard guitarist Viv Campbell is recovering from spinal surgery, according to Blabbermouth. Campbell, who’s successfully been battling Hodgkin’s lymphoma, has been pulling double duty in both Def Leppard and Last In Line, appeared on SiriusXM’s Trunk Nation and revealed, “I did spine surgery last Wednesday, so I’m sitting here with an ice pack and a back brace on. So I’m a little concerned about that. It’s gonna be difficult for me to do these next couple of weeks’ worth of shows. I’m gonna be moving very slowly. But I know that I can get on stage and I can play guitar and I can sing, so that’s all I need to do. It’ll be the travel in between that’s gonna be extremely uncomfortable.”
Campbell, who still receives monthly pembrolizumab infusions, gave fans an update on his cancer situation, explaining, “As far as the cancer, I’m just doing these infusions I go back to City Of Hope tomorrow and get another infusion. And that’ll keep me right for another three to four weeks. It’s just maintenance. It’s all good as far as I’m concerned.”
