Def Leppard guitarist Vivian Campbell will rejoin the 2015 tour later tonight in Birmingham, AL after starting new treatment.

He updated fans with another message on Thursday evening saying he would begin Immunotherapy treatment on Friday morning.

Following tests early today he is then due to fly to Birmingham, AL and rejoin the 2015 world tour.

The previous three shows in West Palm Beach/Tampa, FL and San Juan, Puerto Rico have featured stand in guitarist Steve Brown from Trixter.

According to the American Cancer Society (at cancer.org) Immunotherapy is:

"Immunotherapy is treatment that uses your body's own immune system to help fight cancer."

Check back later tonight for a Live Blog from the Birmingham, AL show where we will hopefully see Vivian return.

All signs point to yes as Vivian said in his message on 23rd June - "They've tailored future treatments to accommodate the tour schedule so I won't have to miss any more shows.".

"At the crack of dawn tomorrow, I'll have my first infusion of this newfangled immunotherapy stuff. It's all rocket science to me, but I'm glad that there are many, many people in the medical and research fields who are soooo much smarter than us guitar players."

"On Saturday morning I'll return for blood work, then straight from hospital to the airport. So excited!"
