In his youth, Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliott was creatively influenced by the music of the late ‘60s and early ‘70s. From legendary acts like T. Rex, Mott The Hoople, David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust and so many others. Each month, listen to Elliott play “Deep Tracks” from his personal music collection. 

Expect to hear songs from Joe’s vault and some of the stories behind them. You can also see Def Leppard on tour this summer. Promising to be the tour of the year, two of the world’s greatest rock bands – Def Leppard and Journey- are teaming up for a massive co-headlining North American tour composed of both stadium and arena concerts, and will feature complete sets and all-new production from both bands, and an arsenal of their greatest hits.

Joe Elliot’s Songs From The Vault will premiere on Thursday, April 19th at 4 PM EST on SiriusXM’s DeepTracks (Ch. 27).
