Def Leppard 2022

Def Leppard's Joe Elliott, Phil Collen and Rick Savage appeared at the Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert in Los Angeles on 27th September and Ross Halfin has posted new photos.

Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins's died in Bogota, Colombia on Friday 25th March just ahead of a planned festival show.

The Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concerts were first announced in June.

The first show took place Wembley Stadium in London, England on Saturday 3rd September.

Joe, Phil and Sav all played at the second show last night in Los Angeles, CA at KIA Forum.

They all shared their memories/tributes for the online concert program along with many of the other artists who took part.

Ross Halfin has now posted many photos which show them performing as well as hanging out backstage with other artists.

Notably including Lars Ulrich from Metallica (Lars' comments in the 90s in Kerrang! where he criticised Joe for putting down 'On Through The Night' apparently forgotten...).

the band are also shown hanging with John Paul Jones from Led Zeppelin/Them Crooked Vultures, Stewart Copeland, Nikki Sixx/Tommy Lee (clothed), Justin Hawkins and Mile Cyrus.

View the photos below along with a posting by Miley Cyrus which features Pro-Shot footage and a voice mail from Taylor Hawkins where he suggested she should try singing 'Photograph' which led to the collaboration at this show.

A Ross Halfin photo was used on the outside of the venue at the show with Taylor seen wearing one of his T-Shirts.
