VIVIAN CAMPBELL Hopes "It Won't Be Long" Before DEF LEPPARD Record A New Album - "There's Definitely Always Gonna Be The Thought Of Future Def Leppard Music"

This year's Diamond Star Halos was Def Leppard's first studio release in seven years, following the band's self-titled release in 2015, and it looks like the band are at the starting point for a new record.

"There's definitely always gonna be the thought of future Def Leppard music," guitarist Vivian Campbell tells Ultimate Classic Rock. "There's always more songs for sure. I mean, everyone in this band writes songs, so there's always [material] around. So it won't be long, I hope."

This summer, Def Leppard co-headlined the massive 36-city The Stadium Tour with Mötley Crüe, joined by special guests Poison and Joan Jett. Just before the tour, fellow guitarist Phil Collen revealed that there may even be a head start to whatever Def Leppard decides to do next: "We had four [additional] songs going," Collen said. "We actually finished one but didn't have enough time to record it. Me and Joe [Elliott] had done our parts but the rest of the guys have still got to play on it, so we didn't finish. And there's, like, three more, so we definitely have a starting point. It's gonna be interesting to see the way the next one goes."
