”Diamond Star Halos” is the brand new album from DEF LEPPARD, their first since their chart topping self-titled Def Leppard record in 2015. Written by the band over the past two years it features 15 tracks including the anthemic, stadium-ready singles “Kick” and “Fire It Up”, with guest vocals from Alison Krauss on “This Guitar” and “Lifeless”. The album title references T. Rex’s “Bang a Gong (Get It On)” with nods to T.Rex, David Bowie and Mott The Hoople across the album, which mixes the sound of their classic spirit with modern fire.
This limited Deluxe Edition features two bonus tracks “Goodbye For Good This Time – Avant-garde Mix” and “Lifeless – Joe Only version” presented in a different, full colour cover on a digipak sleeve (the regular version cover art is black/white).

Today Joe Elliott has curated “Let There Be Drums“, selecting Def Lepp songs driven by huge, bombastic drumming. According to his tastes, a punchy rock song had to be heavy on percussion.

Except their fanbase, few know that DEF LEPPARD did some years ago a performance for the country music channel CMT, in a duet with… country music star Taylor Swift and her band.
Taylor Swift and Def Leppard got together to perform each other’s songs during a taping for the CMT Crossroads concert series. Swift’s band and the British arena rock group simultaneously backed her and Def Leppard lead vocalist Joe Elliott throughout most of the taping. Song selections included Swift’s “Picture to Burn” and Def Leppard’s “Photograph,” “When Love and Hate Collide,” and “Hysteria”.
This material was requested by one of you, but the show only was released on DVD so the 0dayrox team ripped & edited the audio for all of you.
