Def Leppard guitarist Vivian Campbell revealed recently that the band are using some new stage additions on the Rock Of Ages Tour 2012 that once belonged to Phil Collins.
The stage equipment in question was actually used by Phil during his jokingly titled "Finally...The First Farewell Tour" in 2004/2005. The 78 date tour included three shows at the Bercy in Paris which were filmed for a live DVD.
Watch 'Another Day In Paradise' from that show below. In the clip you can see the stairs currently being used by Lep. Phil used the 40 disco floor style panels along the front of his stage. These are now being used at the front of the Lep stage and along the Thrust.

Vivian Campbell Interview Quote
"We do have a new video director and a new stage set. We bought Phil Collins' old staging from a tour he did five or six years ago. It's like building blocks. We took and added to every existing stage set we already own and we've got some new stuff. It will look very different from the last tour."
