In the new video below, Def Leppard returns to Japan for the first time in six years. Come along as Joe Elliott goes bootleg shopping, the guys do karaoke, and of course, rock the stage in Yokohama.
ICYMI: Earlier this week, Def Leppard have released the video below, stating: "Step inside, walk this way as Joe takes you on a tour of his hotel room and a look at how the band lives on the road."
On January 12, Def Leppard's 2022 studio album, Diamond Star Halos, will be released on Blu-Ray Audio, the next in the ongoing SDE Surround Series.
The 15-track long-player includes "Kick", "Fire It Up" and "Take What You Want" and features guest vocals from Alison Krauss on two tracks: "This Guitar" and "Lifeless". The album – the band's 12th – was co-produced by Ronan McHugh and was a critical and commercial success, peaking in the top 10 of both the UK and US album charts.
The new forthcoming SDE-exclusive Blu-Ray edition will feature a Steven Wilson Dolby Atmos Mix of Diamond Star Halos, which is the first time this mix has been available on a physical product. It will also include an exclusive instrumental version, the standard stereo mix and two rare bonus tracks, unreleased outside of Japan: "Angels (Can't Help You Now) - Stripped Version (Covent Garden Mix)" and "This Guitar (Joe Only Version)".
