Def Leppard members Joe Elliott and Phil Collen are featured in a new video by Fuse where artists pay tribute to Sir Paul McCartney and wish him a happy 70th birthday.
Sir Paul turned 70 on Monday 18th June and various artists have paid tribute to one of the most famous and influential musicians of all time.
Joe even tries to do a Liverpudlian accent (it's the thought that counts...). Watch the video below where Joe recalls meeting Paul in Dublin two years ago. The Lep parts start at 0:30, 1:45 and 2:23.
Joe Elliott Quotes
"Alright Paul! Sir Paul. Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday To Ya."
"I met him, he played the RDS in Dublin about two years ago. Abe Laboriel his drummer said have you never met Paul. He introduced me and we had a five minute conversation and I went out in front and watched the gig and I just stood there like this. And my wife's going, you just spoke to Paul McCartney and I'm like yeah I know, amazing."
"They'll never be another one you know. The four of them were amazing but his post Beatles work, some of it's been outstanding. In fact a lot of it has been outstanding so many happy returns."
