Featuring the monster singles “Photograph” and “Rock of Ages,” Pyromania made Def Leppard into bona fide superstars in the world of rock music. Their follow-up album Hysteria in 1987 was even more successful, with hits such as “Pour Some Sugar on Me”, “Armageddon It” and “Love Bites”. These two albums have now sold over 20 million copies in the US.

Def Leppard also kept on releasing more albums that were well received throughout the 1990s and in the 2000s. The band released their most recent studio album, which is self-titled, in 2015. Since its formation, Def Leppard has consisted of Joe Elliott (vocals), Rick Savage (bass), Rick Allen (drums), Phil Collen (guitar) and Vivian Campbell (guitar), all talented musicians who have focused on creating memorable hard rock songs. Despite the band now being active for almost 45 years, it continues to perform live shows to fans in different parts of the world.
