LIFE Def Leppard - Book Description

Over their astounding 45-year career, Def Leppard have rocked as powerfully and memorably—both live and on their phenomenally successful albums—as any band.

While igniting the music world with hits such as "Pour Some Sugar on Me," "Photograph," "Rock of Ages," "Animal," and many more, they have also succeeded as a band of brothers.

Led by soulful-voiced front man Joe Elliott, they have stayed together and continued to thrive through tragedy—including the accident that cost drummer Rick Allen an arm but not his place driving the band from behind his kit.

From their roots in Sheffield, England, in the late 1970s to their stadium tours of today, Def Leppard's songwriting, style, and electric performances have elevated audiences.

This one-of-kind special edition tells the band's remarkable story through extraordinary photographs and sharp storytelling by superb rock music writer Alan Light.

Plus: Inside the making of signature albums Pyromania and Hysteria. Please note that this product is an authorized edition published by the Meredith Corporation and sold by Amazon.

This edition is printed using a high quality matte interior paper and printed on demand for immediate fulfillment.
