Joe Elliott shared the running order of the band's new album via a handwritten note on Instagram:

 

 

Fabulist Icons is a book written by Mike Rogers, Def Leppard’s technician from the Pyromania tour until the Monsters Of Rock tour 1986. It's written from his perspective and features numerous previously unseen photos of the band during those early years of writing and recording Hysteria, including many from Una Williams Photography.

Mike was more than the band's technician though. When Rick came out of hospital after losing his arm, Mike was there. He was also confidante to the Terror Twins in their heyday, and looked after their model girlfriends Lorelei Shellist and Valerie Mazzonelli's poodle whilst in Paris. He also ferried Def Leppard master tapes to and from Mutt Lange at Battery Studios in North London.

The book is 152 pages full colour, 10" square. It will be going to print by end of October.Price is €35/$40/£26 and does not include postage and packaging (P+P).
