Def Leppard are one of the UK’s most enduring rock bands, and things are not slowing down anytime soon for them or bassist Rick Savage.
With tickets about to go on sale for the long-awaited UK leg of their tour with Motley Crue, Poison and Joan Jett, the rockstar will be hitting the road again next year – as well as kitting out a new wave of fans with a brand new clothing line, Overnight Angels Crew, designed by Rick and his son.
While they’re all icons from the 80s, the bands have found newfound interest from younger generations in recent years, leading to sell-out crowds and 1.3million tickets sold to the North American tour.
Rick told Metro.co.uk: ‘That was amazing. It was absolutely fantastic, 36 stadiums across America and Canada and I think I’m right in saying it was the biggest tour of the summer in the States.
‘We ended up playing in front of more than 1.3 million people, it was just a fantastic, fantastic experience, I gotta be honest. It wasn’t just us and Motley Crue, I mean, obviously we were the main attractions but it was Poison and Joan Jett, and the whole package was just fantastic. There was a great vibe, everybody got on and there was a good camaraderie and everyone mucked in.’
