To celebrate the 40th Anniversary of their iconic album "Pyromania", Def Leppard are set to release a deluxe expanded edition – in April 2024.
Originally released in 1983, Pyromania launched Def Leppard into Rock Legend status. The album featured global hit singles 'Photograph', 'Rock! Rock! (Till You Drop)' and "Rock of Ages" and the went on to achieve platinum status across the globe (including a No 2 chart entry in the USA). Pyromania has since become one of the biggest selling rock albums of all time and alongside it's follow up - "Hysteria" – has made Def Leppard one of only five rock bands in history to have two albums with a coveted RIAA Diamond Certification (over 10 million sales in the USA alone). A massive feat within the music industry still to this day.
The album also saw Phil Collen replace guitarist Pete Willis and the first of the classic Def Leppard line ups was born...
Phil Collen says, "Pyromania is a really special album for obvious reasons. It was the first time we all worked together with Mutt Lange, and I was able to play with my incredible friend Steve Clark - who was such a gifted and wonderful guitarist. I am incredibly proud of the album and what we collectively achieved."
