Friday, 20th May 2022

Def Leppard 2022

Def Leppard released their new single Fire It Up from Diamond Star Halos earlier today and the full song credits have been revealed.

'Diamond Star Halos' will be the band's 12th studio album.

The first studio album since 2015 was announced on 17th March and is out on Friday 27th May 2022.

New single 'Fire It Up' was released earlier today (or yesterday in some parts of the world!) and is available to purchase and stream.

The full song credits are available which reveal some guest performers.

It was co-written by Phil Collen and songwriter Sam Hollander.

The song, like 'Kick', features two guests performers.

Songwriter Dave Bassett, who co-wrote 'Kick' with Phil, appears on background vocals.

Delta Deep's Debbi Blackwell-Cook also appears on her third Def Leppard track as a featured backing vocalist following 'Kick' and 'Sea Of Love'.

View the full list of credits below and listen to the new song along with 'Kick' and 'Take What You Want'.

And in now just six days time 16 more songs will be available - the other 12 and the four bonus tracks.

Two on the worldwide Deluxe Edition and the two Japanese-only bonus tracks (which will hopefully turn up somewhere).

As Joe mentioned the other day, the promo video will follow on Thursday 26th May. Will a 2023 Stadium Tour announcement also happen?....
