Frontiers Rock Festival
Def Leppard guitarist Vivian Campbell's side band Last In Line have had to cancel their 2015 Frontiers Rock Festival II show in Milan, Italy.
The appearance was announced in November 2014 on Italian radio by the festival organisers. It was the first show to be scheduled after Vivian announced he was in remission again from Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
The likely cause of the cancellation is it's closeness to Def Leppard's 2015 world tour start date on 15th April in Penticton, BC. The first show of the 13-date Canadian tour.
Vivian was pictured with the other members of Last In Line in early December when he resumed work on the band's soon to be recorded debut studio album of original material.
The band features Vivian on guitars alongside fellow original DIO band members Vinny Appice, Jimmy Bain, Claude Schnell and new singer Andrew Freeman.
They played their last show on 20th October 2013 in Tokyo, Japan at the Loud Park 13 festival.
