JOE ELLIOTT Hit By Illness At DEF LEPPARD's 3rd Residency Gig (Show Report)
Screenshot
Def Leppard played the third show of the 2019 Sin City Residency last night in Las Vegas, NV with 22 songs performed.
The show took place at the 7,000 capacity Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood.
The third night of the 12 show residency. The second of the band's career after 2013's VIVA! Hysteria.
'Foolin'' returned to the show but Joe revealed he was not feeling 100 percent vocally.
Update - It appears Joe is maybe not as ill as first thought. His "condition" has now been described as "Vegas throat" / "Party throat". He became a bit hoarse about halfway through the show but it did not stop the full show being played. A couple of days off before show #4 and then a couple more before show #5 should be enough for him to be back to full strength.
In fact Joe will explain himself in his pre-Rock Of Ages speech now added below. He did skip the usual thank you part at the end of 'Photograph' (the bit before the song ends).
A 22 song setlist was performed.
The 28th time overall that the band have played in Las Vegas.
2019 Setlist/Staging
