JOE ELLIOTT To Make DEF LEPPARD Announcement On BBC Radio 2 Tomorrow

Wednesday, 15th March 2023

Def Leppard 2023

Def Leppard singer Joe Elliott has announced he will appear live tomorrow on BBC Radio 2 during The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show.

Joe announced the news on his new Instagram account in the last few minutes.

Joe will be interviewed live from 8:30am GMT on BBC Radio 2 during the Zoe Ball Breakfast Show.

Some kind of big Def Leppard related announcement is expected to be made.

Joe of course appeared on the show in March 2022 to premiere 'Kick' and then again a few weeks later when he gave the world premiere play of 'Take What You Want'.

Will it be new music? - or a event of some kind?.

The speculation will be over in a matter of hours.

But just to add to it...

There is a King Charles Coronation concert at Windsor Castle on 7th May that has not had its line-up finalised yet.

Any other UK based event could be some kind of concert appearance for the BBC.

This news follows the teaser video posted by the band a couple of days ago.

And Phil Collen appearing at SXSW yesterday and also teasing a big announcement to be made for this summer.

It seems almost certain this announcement will be made tomorrow.
