TAKE ANOTHER
PIECE FROM THIS
HEART OF STONE
YOU BETTER LOVE ME
OR LEAVE ME ALONE
Shadow King
was an
American
hard rock supergroup.
It was formed in 1990,
by former
Foreigner
lead singer
future
Def Leppard
guitarist
Vivian Campbell,
drummer
Kevin Valentine
of
Donnie Iris and the Cruisers,
and bass player
Bruce Turgon
who later joined
Foreigner
with Gramm
after the
split of
Shadow King.
Vivian Campbell
and
Bruce Turgon
both also played with
Lou Gramm
as a solo artist
previous to
Shadow King,
with Campbell
playing on
Long Hard Look,
and Turgon
playing on
Ready or Not
and
Long Hard Look.
They released a
self-titled album
in 1991.
Although plans were
made for a tour,
they performed only once,
at the Astoria Theatre
in London, England,
on December 13, 1991.
Rick Seratte
(Whitesnake, Foreigner, Poco, Rick Springfield)
joined the band
for this performance
with backup vocals
and playing keyboards.
Shortly afterward,
Vivian Campbell
announced he was leaving
Shadow King
to join Def Leppard.
Although replacements
were considered,
the band members
eventually went
their separate ways,
with Gramm
rejoining
Foreigner
in 1992
bringing in
Turgon along with him.
