Def Leppard announce hiatus

By | Published on Thursday 22 July 2010

Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliott has announced that the band have decided to go on a year-long hiatus as life together has become too “stressful”. Elliott told Metro: “We’re taking a year off. After you have a hit like [1987 album] ‘Hysteria’ and you’re signed to the corporate machine it becomes an albatross around your neck. As much as our music is anthemic rock n roll, it’s a business at the end of the day. It’s stressful and gets harder each time you make a record”.
