very kind to Def Leppard. The
British rockers, who enjoyed
phenomenal international success in
1983, suffered through a soap
opera's worth of setbacks and
tragedies.
But the bad times came to an end
this past year with the release of
Hysteria, a comeback album that has

And a successful tour to support that
album includes a 7:30 p.m. stop today
at Carolina Coliseum.
Drummer Rick Allen, guitarists
Steve Clark and Phil Collen, lead
vocalist Joe Elliott and bassist Rick
Savage formed Def Leppard in the
late 1970s in Sheffield, England. At
the time, New Wave was king, and
heavy metal was scorned in the
United Kingdom ? but all that was
about to change.
With a new decade came a new interest
in hard rock in Europe, and
Def Leppard led the way. The
group's debut album, On Through
the Night, sold well, and their powerful
live shows enhanced their growing
reputation. They had hardly made a
dent in the United States, but that,
too, was about to change.
High V Dry, released in 1981, was
the group's first collaboration with
producer Robert John Lange, known
for his work with rockers such as
AC/DC. It sold millions of copies
worldwide, including America,
where songs such as the title track,
"Let It Go" and "You Got Me Runnin'"
received heavy airplay on rock

Pop accessibility was more evident
on Def Leppard's next release in
1983. The group again worked with
Lange on Pyromania, which stayed
near the top of the album charts for
two years and has sold almost seven
million copies.

for his recovery and tried out a few
other drummers, they got Lange to
produce the record. But he was
seriously injured in a car crash soon
afterward. Meanwhile, Elliott contracted
the mumps in the midst of
vocal work on the album.

shows were big successes that turned
the group's fortunes around.
The appropriately titled Hysteria
was finally released this past June.
The first single, "Women," went
nowhere, but the second single,
"Animal," hit the Top 20. Although
it has not reached Pyromania's level
of success, it has sold two and onehalf
million copies so far and is
among the Top 10 albums.
The live show, which is receiving
rave reviews, is performed in-theround.
