Live From The Chance - Andrew Freeman Interview Quotes
Singing With Def Leppard In January 2016
"Yeah that was the Def Leppard cruise. They did one of those cruises that are going out now in Florida and, it was the Hysteria On The High Seas cruise and he was having some vocal issues and just happened to, their main show, he lost his voice. I was stopped outside the theatre by Eddie Trunk and he pulled me in and said 'They're looking for you'. I said 'What are they looking for me for?'. Walk in and they came running over to me and said 'Do you know any Def Leppard songs?'. I said I know every Def Leppard song. 'Get on stage!'. Like what are you talking about?. So I went up on stage and it turned out that Joe had lost his voice and you know they wanted to try to go forward with the show."
"It was a rough cruise you know. Nobody could get off the boat, the weather was terrible and you know he ended up losing his voice. We actually lost Jimmy Bain on that cruise too. Like the same day. So it was a really, really odd day. So yeah, so I got up and I ended up singing for them and it was pretty crazy. A band you grew up with that have influenced you, you know, as much as they did. Yeah it was cool."
