During a visit to BUILD Studios In New York City, Def Leppard singer Joe Elliot revealed on his takes care of his voice.

“I shut up. I sing and I go to bed,” he laughs.

“I watch movies a lot because they kind of encourage you not to talk. And you’ve just got to be clever and sensible about it, we don’t do three [shows] in a row, or four in a row. We do two at most. For us it’s all about doing a good show, not millions of shows.”

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, half the shows being closed by Journey and half by Def Leppard.

The tour, promoted by Live Nation, kicks off May 21st in Hartford, Connecticut, at the XL Center and will feature complete sets and all-new production from both bands, and an arsenal of their hits such as “Pour Some Sugar On Me”, “Lights”, “Photograph”, “Don’t Stop Believin’”, “Rock Of Ages” and “Faithfully”. Tickets go on sale beginning Saturday, February 3rd, at LiveNation.com. Stay tuned for pre-sale and VIP ticketing information.

The 58-city tour will hit ten stadiums - Toronto’s Rogers Centre; Atlanta’s Sun Trust Park; Detroit’s Comerica Park; Chicago’s Wrigley Field; Denver’s Coors Field; Minneapolis’ Target Field; Boston’s Fenway Park; St. Louis’ Busch Stadium; San Francisco’s AT&T Park; and San Diego’s Petco Park - as well as world-famous arenas, such as Madison Square Garden in New York and the ‘Fabulous’ Forum in Inglewood, California. A full list of tour dates can be found below.

Neal Schon said, “These co-headlining Journey/Def Leppard dates will be epic classic rock shows. So many hits. It will be great to see you all, friends!”

Said Joe Elliott, “This tour is going to be a blast! We’ve toured together before and it was massive. This time it’s going to be even bigger and better!”

Jonathan Cain added, “We are all anxious to share our sound with the world again and, along with Def Leppard, we are part of a world-class package to the rock stage that spans decades and represents a multi-platinum legacy.”

Added Rick Savage of Def Leppard, "12 years ago we embarked on a US tour with Journey and it was an absolute blast. Looking forward to hooking up again. Believe me, this will be even more spectacular."
