About Def Leppard

Hailing from Sheffield, England, Def Leppard have carved an indelible mark on the global music landscape since their formation in 1977. Their journey began as part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement, but they quickly evolved, blending hard rock with melodic sensibilities and an undeniable knack for crafting infectious, stadium-ready anthems. Their breakthrough came with the release of "Pyromania" in 1983, which spawned hits like "Photograph" and "Rock of Ages" and sold over 10 million copies in the US alone. This success paved the way for their magnum opus, "Hysteria" (1987), a meticulously produced masterpiece that spent over two years on the Billboard charts and delivered an astonishing seven hit singles, including "Pour Some Sugar On Me," "Love Bites," and "Armageddon It."

Over their illustrious career, Def Leppard have consistently delivered high-quality albums and electrifying live performances. They have sold over 100 million albums worldwide, earning numerous accolades, including multiple multi-platinum certifications, Brit Awards, and even an American Music Award. Their enduring appeal lies in their masterful songwriting, infectious hooks, powerful vocal harmonies courtesy of Joe Elliott and Phil Collen, and the twin guitar attack of Vivian Campbell and the late, great Steve Clark, later filled by Phil Collen, and the driving rhythm section of Rick Savage and Rick Allen. Rick Allen’s remarkable resilience and inspiring story of overcoming personal tragedy to continue his drumming career further adds to the band’s legendary status.
