Def Leppard begins their Las Vegas residency August 14th.

Lead singer Joe Elliot says “When we initially started out this band, we had literally no idea that there would be any band ever that would last for 40 years, or have an album that was over 30 years old,” “Led Zeppelin was still together when we formed. The Beatles had only been split for seven years. the Rolling Stones and The Who were probably only 15 years older than us at the time.”

In 2017 Def Leppard’s mammoth-selling 'HYSTERIA' joined the ranks of 30-year-old albums. Joe Elliot recently shared the top 10 records that changed his life:

Mott the Hoople - Wildlife

Jethro Tull - Aqualung

Rod Stewart - Every Picture Tells a Story

David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

Mott the Hoople - Mott

Montrose - Montrose

Queen - Sheer Heart Attack

Ian Hunter - Ian Hunter

Mick Ronson - Play Don't Worry

UFO - Obsession
