1 Year Ago DEF LEPPARD's JOE ELLIOTT Featured On GHOST Spillways Single/Lyric Video
Ghost/Joe Elliott 2023
Def Leppard singer Joe Elliott's collaboration with Ghost on their single Spillways was released on this day in 2023.
Joe appeared on a new version of their song 'Spillways' which was released on 26th January 2023.
Following a short preview/teaser video the full song and accompanying lyric video were then released.
The single artwork features the familiar Def Leppard triangle in red/yellow with the Ghost logo over the top and the title written in Def Leppard pyrite font.
The original song was released in March 2022 on their fifth studio album 'Impera' and has been previously played by Joe on his weekly Planet Rock radio show.
It was also released as a single in July 2022.
'Impera' reached Number 2 in both the UK and US album charts and Number 1 in their native Sweden.
During the 31st December 2022 edition of The Joe Elliott Show Joe played 'Spillways' and said 'Impera' was his favourite rock album of 2022.
The preview video released for the single features Joe in a Dublin bar being asked by a local to take part in a karaoke session.
He then puts down his pint of Guinness and gets up to sing along to the song.
The Ghost song begins and he joins in with some effects added.

The Joe Elliott Show - 28th January 2023 Quotes
Show Intro
"This song that we're about to hear has been out for a while."
"But not this particular version. Featuring yours truly, this is Ghost."
Ghost Spillways
"So how did that collaboration come about I hear you ask."
"Well turns out that about probably 9 months ago now I was pointed towards an interview that Tobias had done saying he was a bit of a Def Leppard fan."
"And of course as you all know if you've been listening to my show regularly."
"That I am a fan of the band Ghost. And I guess we both heard about each other's mutual love for each other."
"And it just became a very organic get together. And he said would I like to sing on a re-recording of the song Spillways."
"In actual fact the backing track's the same, but I added my parts to it. And there you have it."
"And we had such fun just a couple of weeks ago doing a kind of a webisode I think he calls them. A mini video for the song which was shot in pretty much my local."
"At a place called the Blue Light in Dublin. And great fun was had. Always up for a bit of a laugh."
"And it was great to meet Tobias. A lovely guy and a great artist. And there is the re-recording, if you like, or the additional version of the song Spillways."
