Def Leppard members Phil Collen, Vivian Campbell and Rick Allen performed the band’s 1987 smash, “Pour Some Sugar On Me”, on NBC’s The Voice Monday night, and video of the appearance is available.
The band were joined by Voice coaches Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green and Blake Shelton for the song, which kicked off Monday’s show, the first of a two-part season five finale.
The 2-hour program was the final night of fan voting for Voice finalists Jacquie Lee (Team Christina) and Team Adam’s Tessanne Chin and Will Champlin; a winner will be crowned Tuesday on the season’s final broadcast.
Def Leppard are set to host A Day Of Hysteria on AXS TV, as the band takes over the channel on December 29 to present 12 hours of concerts, including the broadcast premiere of their new live set, “VIVA! Hysteria.”
Filmed earlier this year at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, “VIVA! Hysteria” includes a full, live performance of the 12-times platinum album “Hysteria”, along with hits “Rock of Ages,” “Love Bites,” “Pour Some Sugar on Me,” and more.
“VIVA! Hysteria” will premiere at 8 ET / 5 PT.
The "Day of Hysteria" marathon also features concerts from New York Dolls, Bon Jovi, Sammy Hagar & Friends, KISS and more…including the television premiere of “Cheap Trick at Budokan: The 35th Anniversary Performance” at 9:30 ET|6:30 PT – shot exclusively by AXS TV earlier this year at L.A.’s El Rey Theatre.
Guitarist Vivian Campbell recently confirmed that the band will be recording new music in February.
