Def Leppard Reflect, Get Silly in New Documentary
During their Eighties heyday, Def Leppard were one of the biggest rock bands on the planet, dominating radio with their polished arena-rock. But as they demonstrated earlier this year with their Viva Hysteria! concert series (at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas), the band’s diehard fans remain loyal and rabid.

Living With Def Leppard, – a multi-episode documentary series, offers an intimate view of the band’s stay in Las Vegas. Throughout, the band members discuss their early days, their high-profile struggles (drummer Rick Allen losing an arm, for example) and their endless camaraderie.
While the project doesn’t yet have an official release date, fans can get their fix with this exclusive preview, which blends inter-band silliness (frontman Joe Elliot bumbling on a golf course, guitarist Phil Collen getting greased up with oil before a gig) with reflective interviews and backstage footage.
Stay tuned for details at the band’s official website.
