Def Leppard played a show in Sheffield, England last night and before it Vivian Campbell performed with both Whitesnake and Black Star Riders.

Vivian played with Black Star Riders during their opening special guest slot on a cover of Thin Lizzy's 'The Rocker'.

A repeat of his appearance with them in May before the Cologne show.

He then reunited with singer David Coverdale and drummer Tommy Aldridge from the classic Whitesnake 1987/1988 line up.

He had hinted that he may perform with them again in a recent audio interview. Vivian joined them for their closing song 'Still Of The Night'.

Vivian's first time playing on stage with the band since 15th August 1988 in Portland, OR, USA. The final show of the 1987/1988 world tour.

He last played in the UK with them on 8th January 1988 in Edinbugh, Scotland.

Vivian Campbell - 19th December Facebook Quotes

"And so, tonight we played the last show in Sheffield - Def Leppard's spiritual home and the perfect place to end the tour. It's been a fantastic year for the band, and we want to thank each and every one of you who came to see us play over the last 102 shows."

"It was a super-busy night for me; in addition to playing the Leppard show, I played "The rocker" with Black Star Riders, then I got up with Whitesnake to play "Still of the night". Wow, what a blast that was! It made a special night even more special for me."

"Tomorrow I fly back to L.A. to get juiced-up with Pembrolizumab, then on Monday night I return to Ireland for Christmas with my family. I'm so very looking forward to some time off, but even more so I'm looking forward to having time off with my whole family and going back to beautiful Donegal. It'll be the best Christmas ever!."

Vivian Campbell - Interview Quotes

"And as you'd suggested earlier I - technically I could get on stage with all three bands. And Black Star Riders have offered me the opportunity to do so next Saturday in Sheffield at the last show. And then I heard last night that David Coverdale said to Joe. He said do you think Viv would like to get up and perform in Sheffield with Whitesnake?."

"So I never - I honestly never thought that I would ever get on stage with Whitesnake again. So that's quite remarkable to me. So on Saturday night I "may", if we can work out the logistics of this. I may be playing with all three bands."
