Def Leppard's Official Anthology Now Available for VIP Pre-Order
DEFINITELY: The Official Story of Def Leppard, the band's signed, limited-edition anthology, is now available to order. Offering fans the first-ever official history of Def Leppard,
Definitely is narrated by the band and illustrated with hundreds of photographs and items of memorabilia from their personal archives.
'We had balls and we were naive, in a good way. We just went out there, full throttle...' - Joe Elliott
The band's wide-ranging account chronicles Def Leppard's incredible story, from rehearsing in a factory in Sheffield to playing sell-out stadium tours around the world. The 62,000-word manuscript has been gathered from extensive new interviews with current band members, as well from archive interviews with Steve Clark and Pete Willis. And, with unlimited access to the Def Leppard Vault, Definitely presents a staggering collection of over 1,500 items of memorabilia and photography.
'Coming up during the punk era helped us because there were only a couple of bands playing our type of music. People probably took more notice of us because we stood out.' - Rick Savage
