Fabulist Icons is a book written by Mike Rogers, Def Leppard’s technician from the Pyromania tour until the Monsters Of Rock tour 1986.

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.
