Norton In the Morning - Vivian Campbell Interview Quotes

How are you feeling?. This is quite a battle you're going through.

"I'm feeling fine. That's part of the issue is there's nothing wrong with me physically. I mean if it wasn't for a pet scan showing a recurrence of tumor I wouldn't know anything was amiss. You know I mean I feel a hundred percent. You know it's probably one of those things I'll have to deal with for the rest of my life. But I have no intention of giving in to it. It's just annoying that it interferes with my work occasionally."

Last Tour For Def Leppard?

"Well - none of us know what's around the corner. But I mean we're not planning on it that way. I mean we genuinely enjoy each other's company and we enjoy the work. You know we have a new record coming out later this year so we're planning to be touring on that next year. So, no we're planning to stay buy and I'm certainly planning to be part of it."
