About
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).

It has sold over 15 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time. Hysteria spawned six Top 20 US singles: The US Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 "Love Bites", "Pour Some…
