Their debut album, “On Through The Night,” released in 1980, marked the beginning of a classic British metal sound that would define their career. As they continued to evolve, sales soared with hits like “Photograph,” “Rock of Ages,” and the iconic anthem “Pour Some Sugar On Me” from their fourth album, “Hysteria.”
Despite facing the tragic loss of guitarist Steve Clark in 1991, Def Leppard persevered and continued to dominate the charts with albums like “Adrenalize” and hit singles such as “Let’s Get Rocked” and “Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad.” The band’s enduring legacy was further solidified by their greatest hits album in 1995, which included the power ballad “When Love and Hate Collide,” performed live with pop sensation Taylor Swift.
