Def Leppard 2018. By dltourhistory

A round up of Def Leppard News with links to stories and updates from this week in the band's history.

A week where the band members were all off the road and new tour and release news appeared online somewhat unexpectedly.

Def Leppard 2020 Tour News/Other Bands Rumours

Following recent mentions of 2020 touring by Joe when asked about possible Down 'n' Outz dates a random mention of some possible touring partners was made this week by the manager of The Black Crowes.

He was speaking during a live interview with the Howard Stern Show and said that a tour with Def Leppard, Motley Crue and Poison is happening in 2920.

It turns out that Motley Crue have recently been in the news after a "source" suggested they had been made a huge money offer to tour again after retiring from live concerts in December 2015.

Motley Crue's social accounts also linked to a an online petition for them to reform and tour again a few days later. If true it would be Poison's fourth time touring with Def Leppard and Motley Crue's second.

Read the full tour news round up update linked below for all of the recent developments.
