Def Leppard singer Joe Elliott presented UK music show Top Of The Pops in January 1994 and footage is available.
This appearance features Joe co-presenting the show with regular host Tony Dortie (his last show).
It took place on Thursday 20th January 1994 during Joe's promo tour for the 'Action' single.
The song was at Number 22 in the UK singles chart. Possibly helped by this appearance it jumped up to 14 by the weekend. Joe introduces the promo video and Phil Collins' live performance.
As you can see Joe was wearing an interesting outfit including a Sheffield United T-shirt. This is Joe's usual attire at home - his "rapper / thug" look (apparently...). He wishes his parents a Happy Birthday. Their birthdays are 22nd/25th January (order unknown).
Watch the 4 minute clip in the playlist below along with some Adrenalize era TOTP performances. Once again posted on YT by Bille from a seemingly endless supply of videos! :).

"OK equal billing with United as the best thing out of Sheffield. This is Def Leppard and Action."
