US Tour 2015/2016
Def Leppard have had to postpone their planned show in Orlando, FL tonight due to Joe Elliott's illness.
The show was first announced along with 12 others in October 2015 and was due to take place at the Amway Center.
This follows the postponement of the Greensboro, NC show that was due to have taken place on 27th January.
Joe began to suffer vocal issues during the Hysteria On The High Seas cruise. This affected the Storytellers acoustic concert on the 22nd and also meant he had to sit out the electric concert on the 23rd.
The news was only announced within the last hour by the venue only a few hours before show time. Clearly Joe has not recovered enough to be able to give 100 percent as was clear at last night's show in Sunrise.
Strangely this comes just two hours after the venue said extra tickets for the show had been released.
