ARTIST BACKGROUND

About Def Leppard

Def Leppard emerged from Sheffield during the rise of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. Their later records developed a melodic rock approach suited to large concert stages. Pyromania and Hysteria became central albums, including songs such as Rock of Ages and Pour Some Sugar on Me. Work with producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange helped shape that period of the band's recording career.
