Def Leppard’s New Live Album Rocks the Charts
Collection Enters the Billboard Top 200 at #16
National Tour Kicks of Today in West Palm Beach, FL
June 15, 2011- Def Leppard’s new live album, Mirror Ball: Live & More, thunders into the charts today at # 16 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart. The album’s charted success follows on the heels of recent TV performances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Lopez Tonight. In addition to their new album, Def Leppard kicks off their nearly 50 city summer tour with Heart TODAY in West Palm Beach, Florida (see dates below).
The Walmart exclusive Mirror Ball: Live & More, contains a double disc collection with a bonus DVD of live performances and behind-the-scenes footage, capturing the group’s legendary concert experience, bringing together live versions of classic Leppard hits such as “Pour Some Sugar on Me,” “Rock of Ages,” “Foolin',” “Hysteria,” “Photograph” and an incredible rendition of “Bringing on the Heartache.” In addition, the band has also added three new studio tracks “Undefeated,” “It’s All About Believin’” and “Kings of the World" — all of which are undeniably Leppard.
Mirror Ball: Live & More marks the band’s first ever official digital release. The digital version is available at most digital outlets and at iTunes with a special Deluxe Version LP, which includes a photo gallery, bonus video, handwritten notes from the band as well as a standard version. “I’m extremely excited that we’re going up digitally,” said Def Leppard front man Joe Elliott. “It’s a brand new album and since our catalogue isn’t available yet digitally, this is a great start.”
