Rock News Story Of The Year No. 8: DEF LEPPARD
In July, Def Leppard streamed a cover of the 1989 Depeche Mode classic, “Personal Jesus”, as one of two songs recorded for the Spotify Singles series.
The UK rockers performed the tune alongside their 1987 smash, “Hysteria”, during a May 16 session at the streaming service’s studio in New York.
The lead single from Depeche Mode’s seventh record, 1990’s “Violator”, reached No. 28 on the US Billboard Hot 100 while the project delivered the group their first US Top 10 album.
Def Leppard would go on to release “Personal Jesus” in late November as part of new collection entitled "The Story So Far - The Best Of Def Leppard."
