Def Leppard to be honored with Hollywood Walk of Fame star for their rock legacy and resilience
Def Leppard is set to join the prestigious ranks of the Hollywood Walk of Fame on October 9, securing star number 2,825 in a ceremony scheduled for 11:30 a.m. near Capitol Records. The event will feature speeches from notable figures such as Jon Bon Jovi and Universal Music’s Bruce Resnikoff.
According to Walk of Fame producer Ana Martinez, Def Leppard’s induction is a well-deserved recognition of their immense impact on music history. Having been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame by Queen’s Brian May in 2019, the British rock band has a long history of breaking records. Their albums, including Hysteria and Pyromania, achieved Diamond status in the U.S., selling millions of copies. Hits like “Hysteria,” “Adrenalize,” and “Love Bites” have secured top spots on both the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 charts.
The current lineup of the band, comprised of lead singer Joe Elliott, bassist Rick Savage, guitarists Phil Collen and Vivian Campbell, and drummer Rick Allen, continues to captivate audiences with their electric performances. Additionally, they are in the process of creating new music, with plans to release a new album in the near future. Their latest track, “Just Like 73,” features the guitar wizardry of Tom Morello and has garnered excitement among fans.
Fans can look forward to a series of live performances by Def Leppard, with a 12-show residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace starting in February 2026. The band will also embark on a tour across Europe, bringing their iconic sound to audiences in Switzerland, Finland, Germany, and the UK. Tickets for upcoming shows and information about their new album can be found on Def Leppard’s official website.
Def Leppard’s upcoming recognition on the Hollywood Walk of Fame serves as a testament to their enduring legacy and resilience in the music industry. As they continue to create new music and captivate audiences around the world, their star will shine brightly among the legends immortalized on the iconic sidewalk.
