Def Leppard guitarist Vivian Campbell revealed his cancer diagnosis this afternoon. Campbell says he has Hodgkin's Lymphoma and is two months in to the six months of prescribed chemotherapy. He'll tour with the band on the European and North American tours this June and July.

Last weekend news of Def Leppard's Vivian Campbell's divorce was unearthed by TMZ who also reported the guitarist was hoping to convince a court to deny wife Julie spousal support. Campbell owns up to the divorce on his Facebook page before taking the tabloid news site to task for irresponsible and inaccurate reporting about the spousal support.

Former Dio and longtime Def Leppard guitarist Vivian Campbell has filed for divorce from Julie Campbell, his wife of 25 years, according to a report from TMZ.

Although they made great records together in the early '80s, Def Leppard guitarist Vivian Campbell and the late Ronnie James Dio clearly didn't see eye-to-eye.

Today (Aug. 25) is a very special day for Def Leppard and Dio fans everywhere -- Vivian Campbell turns the big 5-0! Happy birthday to the famous guitar player who's kept us metal heads rocking and rolling all night long.
