A quick reminder for the uninitiated and the young at heart. Def Leppard was born in 1976 in Sheffield, Great Britain. Like many other British bands of the early 1980s, including Iron Maiden, Saxon and Judas Priest, Def Leppard was part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal ( NWOBHM). Since 1992, the band has consisted of Rick Savage (bass, backing vocals), Joe Elliott (vocals), Rick Allen (drums), Phil Collen (guitar, backing vocals) and Vivian Campbell (guitar, backing vocals).
Today, Def Leppard has a dozen studio albums to its credit, including 1981's"High 'n' Dry", 1983's"Pyromania" and 1987's"Hysteria". Proof of their fame, the band has sold over 110 million albums worldwide and won two prestigious Diamond Awards in the USA. The band has also been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame!
