DEF LEPPARD: Autographed Couch To Be Auctioned For Charity
January 19, 2007According to the Laguna Beach Coastline Pilot, DEF LEPPARD members Joe Elliott and Phil Collen were among several celebrities that autographed a white Romanesque couch designed by Modern Studio Furnishings at this year's Billboard Awards in December. The couch will be auctioned on eBay to benefit the City of Hope.
Jonathan Cohen of Billboard.com reported in December that DEF LEPPARD will begin recording its next studio album later this month at frontman Joe Elliott's house in Dublin. Basic ideas were hashed out on the road during the band's extensive tour in support of last year's covers album "Yeah!" , a first for DEF LEPPARD.
"We've got about five or six songs on the go, and there'll be 11 or 12 on the final version," guitarist Phil Collen told Billboard.com "We're trying to get it out for next summer, which for us would be amazing. But we've never been this far along. We come off tour, wait six months, then we start writing. We've already got that sorted out.
Collen said the songs thus far have "absolutely" been influenced by the process of making "Yeah!", which featured DEF LEPPARD's spin on songs popularized by THIN LIZZY, THE FACES and MOTT THE HOOPLE. "We did that so quick," he said. "It was raw, and it didn't demand we sit around for months or years. That really inspired us."
