DEF LEPPARD 2019 News Recap Part 9 (September)

Def Leppard 2019. By dltourhistory

Welcome to recap of all things Def Leppard in the year 2019 continuing with the month of September.

Another year (and decade) for the band has just ended and these updates look back at the major events that took place over the last 12 months.

Featuring links to past news stories.

A month in which the Sin City Residency continued in Las Vegas, NV.

The final five dates out of 12 were played at Zappos Theater. The last two shows were filmed for a future DVD/Blu-ray/CD release.

Both shows saw the band play 24 songs each night with every one of the 28 different songs played during the residency included. Joe recently said the concert film would likely be released in the "first quarter" of 2020.

While in town the band filmed an episode of Sammy Hagar's Rock And Roll Road Trip TV show. The episode has yet to be scheduled for broadcast.

Vivian's Last In Line played more shows across the USA and also announced their first show of 2020 in Los Angeles.

Joe Elliott's Down 'n' Outz released two more songs ahead of the release of their third album 'This Is How We Roll'.

Other major anniversaries also took place including the 1995 'When Love & Hate Collide' single release and the end of the 'Adrenalize' tour in 1993.
