Joe Elliott - Press Conference Quote

"Thank you. Just so everybody knows Vivian's been diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. We found out on day one of the rehearsals for the VIVA Hysteria! run that we did in Las Vegas. So he was carrying that weight all the way through those shows and hid it remarkably well. He asked us to keep it quiet out of respect to his family. He didn't tell his children until Sunday so that's why the press release went out on Monday. But he's had two months worth of treatment and he's responding brilliantly to it and as he says if there's a cancer to get that's the one because there's an 80 percent cure rate um percentage rate on it so he's looking great. In fact he's looking so good he's looking like Dave Kushner right now!."
