Def Leppard singer Joe Elliott has been interviewed by Hot Press and mentioned the upcoming UK tour.
Joe talks about the current resurgence of interest in the band, playing at 'home' in Dublin,the new studio album and the UK tour.
Joe mentions the studios where the band filmed part of the 'Heaven Is' video in early 1992. Then says they will rehearse in Yorkshire before the tour starts. Given they have played over 90 shows and will (probably) be using the same production this could mean another new song might be rehearsed.
'Penny Dreadful' turns out to be a TV show which has Ardmore Studios as one of its filming locations. Described as a drama/horror and starring Timothy Dalton and Billie Piper.
The UK/Ireland tour starts in just 6 days time on 6th December in Dublin.

Hot Press - Joe Elliott Interview Quotes
The New Album
"We were only going to do three songs and we ended up with 14 eventually, then our management took it to different labels, which resulted in a bidding war, so that was great."
UK Tour/Rehearsals
"We've got some big production rehearsals before Dublin. We would've been rehearsing at Ardmore in Bray but fucking Penny Dreadful have got the place! It’s one of my favourite shows but I wish they could just get the fuck out for like a week, so we’re going to rehearse in Yorkshire instead."
