Diamond Star Halos - Phil Collen 2022 Quotes

Fire It Up

"I wrote this one with a guy called Sam Hollander, who’s the most amazing songwriter. He did ‘High Hopes’ by Panic! At the Disco."

"Again, it wasn’t originally meant to be a Def Leppard song, but we were trying to write fist-in-the-air stadium rock, somewhere between ‘We Will Rock You’ and ‘Pour Some Sugar on Me’, but they’re really hard to write."

"When I suggested it to the band, they felt it was obviously a Def Leppard song."

"Our producer, Ronan McHugh, really put his magic touch on this one."
