Billy Kidd - Phil Collen Interview Quotes
2016 Tour
"Well obviously we're touring our new album. Our new album that come out last year, Def Leppard. And we're obviously playing new songs off of that and we've got a brand new set. We've got these screens and the backline is all different to what it was before."
"So it's just that and integrating the new songs into the set. Obviously we'll be playing classics as well. You know you've gotta find a way to make new ones work as well. It looks amazing. It's the best looking stage set we've ever had. It's like over the top."
Detroit Live DVD
"I've actually seen the videos and - we recorded a show live in Detroit and that's actually gonna be out as a DVD later on this year or early next year. You know just looking at that and going whoah this looks crazy. It looks like a movie coming out of the screen. Like a 3D movie or something. So yeah we're really pleased about that."
Vivian's Health
"He's great. He's doing good. He's stabilised the cancer and that. He's on some - whatever the drug is he's taking at the moment. And that seems to be working. So no he's doing really well."
"He still does. He still has to schedule stuff in and stuff like that. But he's got that under control and like I said that really works out well."
