Def Leppard singer Joe Elliott will attend a rare performance by one of his favourite bands Doctors Of Madness in London, England later tonight.

As mentioned by Joe on his Planet Rock radio show in the last few months they are reforming for the first time in 36 years.

The one off show will take place as part of an arts festival put together by lead singer Richard "Kid" Strange at London's South Bank Centre.

The show is titled - "Language is a Virus from Outer Space - An evening inspired by the Life and Work of William S. Burroughs 1914-1997".

Joe mentioned his attendance in August and on last weekend's show. A post on Richard's website also features a testimonial to him sent in by Joe.
