Congrats to St. Louis native/Guns 'n Roses member Richard Fortus, who will be filling in for guitarist Vivian Campbell in Thin Lizzy this summer. (Campbell is also in Def Leppard, and that band has a busy summer touring schedule set, including a date in St. Louis with Heart on August 10.) According to Blabbermouth, Fortus' reign in the classic rock band will begin after May 28, although he did appear onstage with the band in Chicago on Friday, April 1. Video of that is below.
