Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen was interviewed last week by Steve Raymond of 100.7 WZXL and the full audio is available.

Phil talked about the Diamond awards for Pyromania/Hysteria, the Slang Deluxe Edition release, the Summer Tour 2014 with KISS, the second Las Vegas residency, Ded Flatbird, setlist and the 2015 studio album.

Phil seemed to be unsure of whether Vivian will play on the tour which goes against his own recent health update. The interview was conducted last week before rehearsals began (on 16th June) so it seems highly likely he will.

Listen to the full 7 minute interview below. Vivian has also shared a new update a couple of hours ago.

Steve Raymond - Phil Collen Interview Quotes

setlist/new album - rock rock played in rehearsal

"Yeah because we're so limited like I said we're not gonna not gonna go into any of the deep cuts. We've actually been recording a new album we actually went into the studio in February in Dublin just to do like four songs and we ended up getting 15 on the go. So we're actually definitely gonna release an album next year. But we won't be playing any of that stuff that's all you know not quite finished yet. A lot of the hits and stuff and like I said we can't really go too deep into album tracks and cuts and everything."

Rock! Rock!?

"Yeah we're definitely gonna be playing it in rehearsals for sure."

Vivian health/Playing on the tour?

"I don't know cause we heard this stuff's going on. So it's right - you know the last minute we'll find out actually. I meet up with them on Monday (16th June) we're gonna have some rehearsals up in LA and just see how he feels then. That's really what it comes down to. It's a tough one that so you know he really wants to go ahead with it. We're leaving that up to him so we'll see. But you know not 100 percent sure yet so we'll see how that goes."

Vivian Campbell - 20th June facebook Quote

"Packing for the tour today. Sorry about the lack of updates; been a lot going on and I'm still trying to make sense of it all myself. I appreciate all the good vibes you've sent my way recently and, as always, I'm happy to be returning to work. Lots of news, but plenty of time to share it in due course."
