Media Eye News Bureau: British rockers Def Leppard are going to arrive on Spotify as their back catalogue was made available on streaming platforms for the first time.
The British band’s works, from their first release in 1979, The Def Leppard EP to their 2015 release will be available to stream as the band announced a new UK and Ireland headline tour for December.
“It is with a mixture of relief and euphoria that we now see our entire catalogue finally getting a digital release.” frontman Joe Elliot said. He added, “Having embraced every other format with open arms, especially and more recently the re-emergence of vinyl, we’re now going to be available to everyone everywhere and honestly, it’s as exciting as the original releases were.”
Def Leppard formed in Sheffield in 1977 and their 11-date tour in December includes a homecoming show in the city as well as their first ever show at London’s O2 Arena. The band re-released their 1987 album Hysteria last year and will perform the record in full during the tour.
