Def Leppard<\/strong> is giving fans a backstage look at their recent concert at Feria Estatal De Le\u00f3n in Le\u00f3n, Mexico.<\/p>\n

The band shared their first behind-the-tour video<\/strong><\/a> of 2025, highlighting the\u00a0Jan. 18\u00a0concert, which\u00a0they played without guitarist Vivian Campbell<\/strong>, who’s recovering\u00a0from a bone marrow transplant to treat his cancer.<\/p>\n

\u201cVivian is recuperating from cancer surgery,\u201d frontman Joe Elliott<\/strong> says in the clip. \u201cHe\u2019s doing very well but he\u2019s in a bubble. He\u2019s not allowed to travel.\u201d<\/p>\n

Phil Collen<\/strong>‘s guitar tech John Zocco<\/strong> filled in for Viv, with Elliott calling him a \u201cphenomenal player.\u201d He adds, \u201cWe have every confidence that it will go swimmingly until our boy Vivian is back on the stage with us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rick Savage<\/strong> adds, \u201cViv we miss you, we love you and we wish you could be with us.\u201d<\/p>\n

In footage from the concert, Elliott\u00a0tells the audience\u00a0that they’re celebrating the 45th anniversary of their debut album,\u00a0On Through The Night<\/em>. The band follows that by performing one of the singles from the album, \u201cWasted.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elliott later shares that the Le\u00f3n concert actually took place 45 years to the day that\u00a0Def Leppard kicked off their On Through The Night tour, which was their first-ever headlining tour.<\/p>\n

Def Leppard has several more dates on the books for 2025, with shows confirmed through August. Their next show is happening May 15 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. A complete list of dates can be found at defleppard.com<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
