Description
Def Leppard are an English rock band formed in Sheffield in 1976. Since 1992, the band has consisted of Rick Savage (bass, backing vocals), Joe Elliott (lead vocals), Rick Allen (drums), Phil Collen (guitar, backing vocals), and Vivian Campbell (guitar, backing vocals). They established themselves as part of the new wave of British heavy metal of the early 1980s. Their greatest commercial success came between the early 1980s and mid-1990s.
With a line-up of Savage, Elliott, Allen and guitarists Steve Clark and Pete Willis, the band’s first album, 1980’s On Through the Night, reached the Top 15 in the UK but received little notice elsewhere. Their second album, 1981’s High ‘n’ Dry, was produced by Mutt Lange, who helped them to define their melodic hard rock style. The album’s most popular track “Bringin’ On the Heartbreak” became one of the first rock videos played on MTV in 1982, but the album reached only the Top 30 and 40 in the UK and US. Willis was replaced by Collen in 1982. Their next studio album, Pyromania, was released in January 1983, with “Photograph” and “Rock of Ages” both topping the US Rock Tracks chart and reaching the top 20 of the Hot 100. Reaching No. 2 on the US album chart, Pyromania was certified Diamond in the US. It reached the top 20 in the UK but did not sell much elsewhere. The band’s fourth album, the more pop-oriented Hysteria (1987), topped the UK, US, Canadian and Australian charts, and remained on the charts for over two years, from 1987 to 1989. It has been certified 12× platinum for sales in the US, selling over 30 million copies worldwide to date, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time, and the highest selling glam rock album to date.[1] It spawned six Top 20 US singles, including the US Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 “Love Bites”.Singles also included “Pour Some Sugar on Me” (US No. 2), “Hysteria”, “Armageddon It” (US No. 3), “Animal” (at No. 6, the biggest UK hit), and “Rocket” (a Top 15 hit in many countries).
Clark died in 1991, with the band recording their next studio album, Adrenalize, as a four-piece. The album reached No. 1 on the UK, US and Australian charts in 1992. It contained several hits, including the Billboard chart-topper “Let’s Get Rocked”, which became their biggest hit in several countries, including No. 2 in the UK. The third single, “Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad”, was a Top 10 song in the US, UK and Canada. Adrenalize went on to sell over eight million copies worldwide
