Def Leppard guitarist Vivian Campbell joined Steel Panther onstage in London, England on this day in 2012 and footage/photos are available.

The show took place at the Hammersmith Apollo in London, England.

The final night of their UK tour and Vivian joined them onstage for the third time that year.

He played on two songs - DIO's 'Rainbow In The Dark' and Steel Panther's own 'Death To All But Metal'.

Vivian had played with them in West Hollywood in May 2012 and Anaheim in January 2012.

Those first appearances were later revealed to be one of the reasons why he wanted to jam with his old DIO bandmates again and eventually form Last In Line.

Steel Panther were the opening act on December 2011 Mirrorball UK tour headlined by Def Leppard/Motley Crue.

"I'm bringing my Les Paul as apparently they're foolish enough to let me get up and do a couple of songs with them. Packing my bags, leaving tomorrow night - big excitement!"
