DEF LEPPARD Singer Defends UK Co-Headline Tour With WHITESNAKE - "Both Acts Are More Relevant Than Ever"

According to Thestar.co.uk, DEF LEPPARD have defended their decision to do a co-headline tour amid suggestions they haven't got what it takes to fill major UK venues on their own anymore. Ahead of Monday's show at Sheffield Arena with WHITESNAKE, singer Joe Elliott described it as simply a "great value ticket".

"This is not like THE GLITTER BAND, MUD and SUZI QUATRO on the bus playing Butlins, this is Def Leppard and Whitesnake, both with new albums, both acts more relevant than ever, playing arenas," said the Sheffield frontman.

"It's not some saddoes tour, it's not nostalgia. Of course there's gonna be old songs in the set, but they get to play some new stuff and look valid, so do we, and people come to hear stuff they know."
