Def Leppard guitarist Vivian Campbell has been interviewed ahead of the OH YEAH Legend awards in Belfast.

Vivian will be the recipient of a special award called the 'Oh Yeah Legend Award' in his home city of Belfast, Northern Ireland on 11th November.

He was recently interviewed by the Coleraine Times ahead of tomorrow's ceremony and concert.

Vivian talked about his award, family members and staying busy.

The ceremony takes place tomorrow night at Mandela Hall. The award 'recognises the exceptional contribution of a musician or music industry figure from Northern Ireland'.

Vivian talked about the award, record awards/success, his early years in Northern Ireland, his former bands and Last In Line/Jimmy Bain's death.

Last in Line will play a special show at The Mandela Hall following the Oh Yeah Legend presentation.

Previous winners include Ash, The Undertones, Therapy? and one of Vivian's heroes Gary Moore.

Coleraine Times - Vivian Campbell 29th September 2017 Interview Quotes

On his OH Yeah Legend Award

"I am not used to getting awards. I am not a celebrity, the only people who know me are the hard rock fans and guitar junkies. "I have had a very steady and colourful career and this means a lot to me because it is flattering to be recognised by your fellow countrymen."
