Summary

This week we welcome Joe Elliott to Rockonteurs. Joe has fronted Def Leppard from their earliest days in Sheffield to the incredible success breaking America in the 1980’s and continues to steer this hugely popular band. From his genuine love of music, his early influences of Bowie and Bolan to the inside stories on albums like Pyromania and Hysteria, from the highs of record breaking awards and album sales to the devasting story of Rick Allen’s accident - this episode is a Rock N Roll tour de force much like Joe! Plus, find out which of our hosts did backing vocals on Animal! It’s all in this episode of Rockonteurs.
