DEF LEPPARD's JOE ELLIOTT To Appear On BBC RADIO 2 Sounds Of The 80s

Def Leppard 2022. Def Leppard 2022

Def Leppard singer Joe Elliott will appear as a guest on BBC Radio 2 show Sounds Of The 80s on 22nd April to promote the new Diamond Star Halos album.

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

As announced on 17th March it will be released on Friday 27th May 2022.

New single Take What You Want was released earlier today and is available to purchase and to stream.

Joe will be promoting the new album on BBC Radio 2 on 22nd April.

He is scheduled as a guest on Sounds Of The 80s with Gary Davies.

The two hour show is broadcast from 8pm to 10pm.

Joe is due to feature as a guest during the My 80s segment and the show will also have a 'Def Leppard Mastermix'.

This presumably means a mix of various Def Leppard and related songs. Last week's show schedule shows 9 songs during the Mastermix segment by different artists.

Joe and Phil appeared on this show in March 2018 when Sara Cox was a guest host.

Unlike that appearance this one will not also be shown on TV and is radio only.

Joe and Phil were interviewed for 24 mins during the 2018 show.

Joe also appeared on BBC Radio 2 earlier today to premiere the new single 'Take What You Want' during the Breakfast With Zoe Ball Show.

Def Leppard Take What You Want - Lyrics Sample

Life's complicated
Love it or hate it
I'm in this to win
You don't have to believe it
Take it or leave it
Just let it begin

From two different worlds
We come crashing in It's like a brand new day
Still shoulder to shoulder
Soldier to soldier
So show me the way
