Def Leppard Plan New Songs, Box Set and Tour and Viviam Campbell Remembers Ronnie James Dio
. On joining Thin Lizzy for their European tour, which will also see the band supporting Paul Rodgers: "I remember thinking what an exciting opportunity this was for me. As a guitarist, their music has always been such a huge part of my life. I'm entirely self-taught and taught myself a lot of Lizzy songs. It's very exciting to be in this position." On what's in store for Def Leppard in 2011: "We have a live record coming out in 2011, and we're looking at attaching two, three or four new songs to that album when it comes out. There are also plans for a career-encompassing box set. Leppard will be back this summer, and we'll be touring North America and Canada." On the passing of Ronnie James Dio: "You know, I was numb to the whole thing. I hadn't talked to Ronnie in 25 years, so it wasn't as if we were close. My mother died nine or 10 days before him� And my father died nine months before that. It was a really tough year on a personal level, and I had enough to think about. The news about Ronnie James Dio just bounced off me." Vivian went on to say, "It was a difficult relationship on a personal level anyway. I was really proud of the music we made together, but it was tough being in a band together. But he died way too young." more on this story Gibson.com is an official news provider for the Day in Rock. Preview and Purchase Def Leppard CDs |
