Beginnings

Def Leppard, the English rock band surfaced in 1977 and originated from Sheffield, England, comprising five band members. They emerged as part of the NWOBH (New Wave of British Heavy Metal) movement and rose to the ladder of fame and stardom with the release of their earth-shattering albums one after the other.  On Through the Night that was launched on 14 March 1980 was their debut album, but the real breakthrough came with Pyromania, which hit the market on 20 January, 1983. After Pyromania came another massive hit titled, Hysteria, on 3 August 1987 that cemented their name as rock legends in the industry. Their rocking music and steady touring  further increased their fan following and over the years they went from strength to strength.

Band Members

Rick Savage is the bassist, keyboard and additional guitar player as well as the backing vocal artist. Rick Allen, the drummer is also the backing vocalist. Whereas, Phil Collen and Vivian Campbell are the guitarists, who also provide the backing vocals.

Consistent Growth of the Rock Band

The band was named Atomic Mass initially, but was then changed to "Deaf Leopard"  as suggested by Joe Elliot. However, the spellings of the band name were somewhat tailored, turning out to be as Def Lappard. Throughout 1979, after releasing the Def Leppard EP, the band continued to develop a loyal fan-following with British hard rock and heavy metal fans. Their rising fame then led them to sign a record deal with a major label Phonogram/Vertigo, known as Mercury Records in the US.

Releasing the first album while only in teens, the band earned the status of being one of the most consistently flourishing pop-metal groups of the decade and afar.
