Def Leppard remain one of the world's biggest and most successful live acts, having sold over 65 million albums worldwide, they have played to over 50 million fans in the last 15 years alone. 2007 was another monumental year for the band, playing a near sold out 50 date arena tour across the USA. They are one of only five rock groups who can claim two separate original 10 million plus selling albums in the US. The others are The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Van Halen.
2007 was the 20th anniversary of Def Leppard's legendary "Hysteria" album. An album summed up by Mojo magazine in Sept 2007 as "Hard rock's equivalent of 'Thriller' ".
Def Leppard are also set to release a brand new studio album in mid 2008. The album will see the band adding to their incredible legacy and promises the inclusion of a very special collaboration.
Legendary front man David Coverdale is bringing Whitesnake back on the road in 2008 to celebrate the band's 30th Anniversary with a vengeance...April 2008 will see the release of the first new Whitesnake studio album in over 10 years...'Good To Be Bad' featuring 11 new, slamming Whitesnake songs, guaranteed to take their place alongside their better known multi-million selling catalogue.
"It's about time we had new songs to present to the Whitesnake Choir...This album has all the elements I enjoy about Whitesnake & more..." says Coverdale.
"With their blend of hard rock, soul, blues, and balladry...a healthy dose of priapic posturing & good time fun, Whitesnake brings a welcome, positive energy to the current musical climate."
From 1973 to 1976 Coverdale was the lead singer in Deep Purple, one of the biggest bands in the world. A year after leaving, he formed Whitesnake in late 1977 as a blues-based, melodic rock band to tour & promote his solo records "Whitesnake" & "Northwinds".
Special Guests on this show are the classic British, quintessential blues / rock band – Thunder, who are about to release their eighth album.
