Def Leppard guitarist Vivian Campbell today celebrates his 50th birthday.
Vivian joined the band 20 years ago just before the start of the Adrenalize tour. He recently reflected on this milestone when speaking to the Bangor Daily News.
Here is a shot of Vivian and Phil from his first ever photo shoot with the band in March 1992 by Ross Halfin. Vivian will play his seventh 'birthday' show with the band tonight in St. Louis, MO.

"Yeah, it's kind of strange. This is the longest I've ever remained with one band by far, but I'm still the new guy. But they've made me feel at home and I'm very much a part of the band."
