Def Leppard 2024

Def Leppard have today released their new single Just Like '73 which can now be downloaded and streamed.

Following a radio premiere in the last few minutes the song is now released.

The first release of new material since the 'Diamond Star Halos' album in May 2022.

New Single Just Like '73

'Just Like '73' has just been officially released following its world premiere broadcast on BBC Radio 2 by Zoe Ball on her breakfast show.

The single was officially confirmed and announced yesterday ahead of the band's return to live work at a private SiriusXM event in Los Angeles.

The third year running that new material has been premiered first on BBC Radio 2.

The song was written by Joe Elliott, Phil Collen and Dave Bassett.

Quite possibly the song left over from 'Diamond Star Halos' that they said was almost finished.

Listen to the full song below via Spotify.

Seven Inch Vinyl/Alternate Version

On 2nd August two vinyl versions will be released, one on regular black vinyl and one limited edition release on blue vinyl.

The B-Side of both of these is the alternate 'Def Leppard Version' of the song presumably with solos by only Phil and Vivian.

Music Video Coming Soon

The official promo video for the song will debut on Thursday 20th June at 4pm.

Said to be an animated video that features the band and Tom Morello "as you’ve never seen them before".

The characters shown on the Signed Art Card seem to be a preview of what the video will look like.

Tom Morello Guest Solo

Former Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello features on the new song as first revealed by Rick Savage in an April interview.

Def Leppard Single Phone Teaser

The song was previewed via a telephone hotline number given out with an email to fans a couple of days ago.
