These new shows follow the band’s sold-out residency successes in 2019 and 2013.

There’s no place on Earth where you can have the likes of Adele, U2 and THE EAGLES all playing sold-out shows on the same night! We’re really looking forward to coming back for our third Vegas residency and to do a run at the iconic Colosseum at Caesars Palace is such an honor given the giants that have blessed that stage!”

The veteran British rockers played their first concert of 2025 on January 18 at Feria Estatal De León in León, Mexico. As was the case with the band’s October 14, 2024 private show in Nashville (as part of the Daimler Truck Customer Appreciation Event),DEF LEPPARD guitarist Vivian Campbell was unable to join his bandmates at the León gig and was replaced by John Zocco, who is Phil Collen‘s guitar tech. Campbell has since rejoined DEF LEPPARD on the road.
Late last year, Vivian underwent a bone marrow transplant as part of his treatment plan for Hodgkin’s lymphoma, with which he was diagnosed in 2013.
Last month, Campbell revealed that he is “completely in remission” from the cancer of the lymphatic system.
This past January, DEF LEPPARD released a cover of Ben E. King‘s 1961 classic “Stand By Me”. All proceeds from the song are going to FireAid, which raises money for those impacted by the fires that swept through Los Angeles early this year.
DEF LEPPARD‘s version of the song is featured in the Netflix film “Bank Of Dave 2: The Loan Ranger”, which was released on January 10. The band can be seen performing the track before the credits.
Campbell — who before joining DEF LEPPARD in 1992 was well known for his work with DIO and WHITESNAKE — went public with his Hodgkin’s lymphoma diagnosis in June 2013.
Vivian underwent three separate spells of chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant, only for his Hodgkin’s lymphoma to return.
Six years ago, Campbell underwent spine surgery.
Vivian and his DEF LEPPARD bandmates were finally inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in March 2019 — 14 years after the British rockers first became eligible.
DEF LEPPARD‘s latest album, “Diamond Star Halos”, arrived in May 2022 via UMe.
