Def Leppard - History
Since Def Leppard debuted in the early 1980's they have become one of the most successful pop-metal bands in music history. With current members Joe Elliot, Phil Collen, Vivian Campbell, Rick Savage and Rick Allen, Def Leppard was one of the leaders of the renaissance of British heavy metal during the 80's. The band continues to tour and this legendary band is still selling out venues around the world!
Def Leppard was formed in 1977 by Pete Willis and Rick Savage in Sheffield (UK). When Joe Elliot joined the band he had always dreamed of playing in a band that went by the name Deaf Leopard. The spelling was changed from what he originally created to Def Leppard, a name that has been made famous to this day. They started out rehearsing in an abandoned spoon factory in the UK. In 1977 they had their first gig performing in front of six of their friends on Christmas. From those small beginnings Def Leppard was able to become a household name. In 1978, Steve Clark and Rick Allen joined the band as they made their first recording 'The Def Leppard EP'. By 1980, Def Leppard released their debut LP 'On Through the Night' and began touring with artists like Judas Priest, Ted Nugent and AC/DC.
The group began its upward climb of success in 1981 when their second album 'High 'n' Dry' was released. The album marked the beginning of a string of multi platinum albums. They followed that album with 'Pyromania' which sold an incredible 10 million copies. After the albums release, Def Leppard took their success and set out on their first world tour. It wasn't until 1987 that they released their next LP with 'Hysteria' that featured such hit songs as Pour Some Sugar on Me and Love Bites. They have released multiple albums since including 'Adrenalize' (1992), 'Retro Active' (1993) and 'Euphoria' (1999). There latest album 'Yeah!' was released in 2006 and helped fans to realize that Def Leppard is still going strong.
Over the years, Def Leppard has seen their fair share of change within the band. During the recording of 'High 'n' Dry' in 1982 they fired founding member Pete Willis and replaced him with Phil Collen who remains with the band. Tragedy struck Def Leppard in 1992 as guitarist Steve Clark died from a bad combination of drugs and alcohol; he was replaced by Vivian Campbell. One thing Def Leppard has proved is that through anything they will continue to make great music. Find the best seats to see this legendary act perform on TicketNetwork, and get your tickets today!
