On January 18th, Def Leppard performed their first show of 2025 without guitarist Vivian Campbell at Feria Estatal De León in León, Mexico. Phil Collen’s guitar tech, John Zocco, performed in his place. According to a mid-show explanation from frontman Joe Elliott, Campbell was absent because “he’s just recovering from some treatment for his cancer.”
Zocco previously filled in for Campbell on October 14, 2024 for the Daimler Truck Customer Appreciation Event.
