Interview: Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott and Phil Collen Talk New Album & 2022 Stadium Tour

If all went according to the original plan, the lads in Def Leppard would be looking back at 2020 as the year they rocked the masses as part of “The Stadium Tour“ with co-headliners Mötley Crüe, as well as Poison and Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. But as we all know, the COVID pandemic put those plans on hold. But now – two years later – the time is finally right for the highly anticipated outing to finally commence. As it turns out, Def Leppard put the unexpected time off the road to good use, as the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band -- singer Joe Elliott, guitarists Phil Collen and Vivian Campbell, bassist Rick Savage, and drummer Rick Allen -- were able to write and record their 12th studio album, Diamond Star Halos, which drops on May 27th, a few weeks prior to the launch of “The Stadium Tour“ on June 16th. Elliott and Collen recently checked in with Heavy Consequence via Zoom to discuss the new album and the tour. Subscribe here for more! https://
