Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen will appear at the Classic Rock Roll Of Honour awards in Tokyo this November.

Phil was confirmed to appear along with Metallica's Kirk Hammett.

The Classic Rock Roll Of Honour awards ceremony will take place on 11th November in Tokyo, Japan at the Ryogoku Kokugikan Arena.

Def Leppard's self titled 2015 studio album is nominated for Album Of The Year and you can cast your vote on the event website.

Joe appeared at the November 2014 event in Los Angles where he presented an award to Ozzy Osbourne and sang 'Tie Your Mother Down' with Kings Of Chaos and Brian May.

Phil had been due to appear at that event which was later broadcast on AXS TV.

In November he will take part in a special tribute to Jeff Beck alongside Cheap Trick, Richie Sambora, Orianthi and Joe Walsh.

Kirk Hammett played a snippet of 'Getcha Rocks Off' in August 2015 at Metallica's Reading Festival headline show.
