BlakeHOST
We know that.
BlakeHOST
And it was Vivian Campbell on guitar, Jimmy Bain on bass, and Vinny Apisi on drums.
BlakeHOST
I believe Vinny Apisi was also in Sabbath when Dio was in Sabbath, at least the first time.
BlakeHOST

A dollar from every ticket goes to City of Hope, which is the cancer center in California.
Scott PenfoldHOST
That's where Vivian Campbell was treated for Hodgkin's lymphoma after his diagnosis.
Scott PenfoldHOST
And it's where he went when, in his words, in the winter of 2023, I got really scared about what was happening and the pace at which it was happening.
Scott PenfoldHOST
He called the treatment my only hope to survive.
Scott PenfoldHOST
So the cancer has returned.
Scott PenfoldHOST
He's continuing treatment and he's on this tour.
