WKLH Mornings with Dave Luczak - Phil Collen Interview Quote
How is Viv Campbell doing dealing with Hodgkin's?
"He's great you know he had different treatments. He's been - while we've been on tour he's been - sometimes he has to go off and - every two or three weeks he has to go and have a treatment back in LA. So and that works out great. I mean it's a real easy procedure. He just walks in, ten minutes and he's out again and then he gets on a plane and then he joins us back out on tour somewhere."
"So a lot of travel for Viv but he's doing great. He's doing really good. He's healthy and he's running around on stage and singing. I always know when he's not very well because you know we have to harmonise all the time, our vocals. That was the first clue I got that he wasn't feeling well. You know a couple of years ago when he first heard about this Hodgkin's Lymphoma because all of a sudden our blend - I mean as weird as that sounds - the blend on our vocals wasn't quite gelling and you know it has been for 20 something years. And all of a sudden there was something a bit off so you know that's how I could tell that there was something weird and that he says wow I've just had these tests and I got this cancer thing. But he's doing great. As well like I said he's back to singing great."
