Def Leppard Debut Kickin’ New Song ‘Kick’ + Announce ‘Diamond Star Halos’ Album
Def Leppard have officially announced Diamond Star Halos, their first new album since their self-titled effort that was released in 2015. Kicking things off is the lead single, "Kick," which can be heard toward the bottom of the page.
Earlier this week, the legendary group launched a countdown teaser site, which was set up to mimic a psychic hotline. Each member of the band — Joe Elliott, Rick Allen, Vivian Campbell, Phil Collen and Rick Savage — each had dedicated panels on the site where users were able to click to hear a brief prediction from the individual musicians with an option to also sign up for the Def Leppard mailing list.
Diamond Star Halos, the 11th original full length by the veteran band, will be released on May 27 through UME (Universal Music Enterprises) and you can view the complete track listing and album art further down the page. Pre-order the album here.
The record's release is quite timely with the long-awaited Stadium Tour, starring Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Poison, Joan Jett and The Blackhearts and more, finally kicking off on June 16 with an end date set for Sept. 9. Head here to view all the upcoming stops.
Def Leppard, "Kick" Lyrics
