Def Leppard performed Heaven Is on BBC TV music show Top Of The Pops on this day in 1993.

The performance was originally broadcast on Thursday 21st January 1993.

The fourth single from the 'Adrenalize' album was released on 18th January 1993 and this performance was another exclusive for the show before it entered the charts.

This edition was presented by regular host Mark Franklin.

This was the third performance on Top Of The Pops for the 'Adrenalize' album after 'Let's Get Rocked' in March 1992 and 'Make Love Like A Man' in June 1992.

The show was rebroadcast again in June 2022 for the first time since it originally aired in January 1993.

It was shown twice and followed up by the 4th February edition being shown again with a clip of the promo video as the song debuted on the Top 40 chart.
