The Joe Elliott Show - 30th December 2023 Quotes
Ian Hunter
"So we've got Jagger and Richards in their 80s, we've got Macca and Ringo in their 80s and this next gentleman also in his 80s released a new album this year and he will also be releasing a new one in 2024. This is Ian Hunter."
"And before that, Ian Hunter from an album called Defiance Part One and as I've said many times, there's the clue. Yes, Defiance Part Two is coming in 2024 but for now, we'll just stick with a track which features Robert Trujillo and Slash from the album that came out this particular year. It is Ian Hunter with the song, the title track in fact, of the album Defiance."
