Def Leppard will perform on two US TV shows in February including Good Morning America it has been announced.
'Good Morning America' is broadcast on 16th February on ABC TV. The band will perform in their New York studios.
It's likely the band will perform new single 'Dangerous' as well as a classic.
These videos are usually posted online shortly after airing. Bands perform one or two songs.
UPDATE - This appearance will not take place following the February tour postponement caused by Joe's laryngitis. It was announced by ABC News radio only and would probably have been confirmed by ABC TV and the band closer to broadcast time. That will obviously not happen now.
They are also due to perform on a show called 'Pawn Stars'. Or at least appear on it. Described as a 'reality' show.
Apparently (according to ABC News) three songs will also be released on a video game (for those who like that sort of thing).
These appearances are announced just as the band have had to postpone a show in Greensboro set for tomorrow.
Shades of April 2008 when the band's US TV appearances were affected by Joe's voice issues and multiple shows were cancelled/postponed just as the band released the 'Songs From The Sparkle Lounge' album.
Last year Joe and Vivian taped an appearance on another reality series called Fast N' Loud in Dallas, TX. As yet this has not been broadcast.
