Produced by Mutt Lange and introduced with the lead single, “Photograph”, the UK band’s third album would deliver a series of hits while going on to break Def Leppard in several countries – including America, as the project hit No. 2 on the Billboard 200 on its way to sales of more than 10 million copies in the region.
“Hugely important record for our career,” explains Joe Elliott in a new video featuring memories from the band members, “and, in America, it broke us wide open; it became one of the biggest records of the year – only behind Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ in sales.”
The group’s social media team adds: “We’re kicking off the celebrations with a special message from the band. Follow along and stay tuned as we celebrate #PYROMANIA40 all year long.”
Def Leppard are gearing up to hit the road with Motley Crue for a global stadium tour this year, which will open with a pair of intimate dates in Atlantic City, NJ next month before heading to Mexico and South America this spring and resuming in Europe in May.
