DEF LEPPARD: 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' Performance Cancelled
June 20, 2007The following message has been posted on DEF LEPPARD's web site:
"Since all episodes of 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' taking place from June 22 to June 25 have been cancelled, we are sorry to report that this Friday's show, where DEF LEPPARD was supposed to perform, will not take place. Unfortunately we do not have any further details, but the show's production company ensured us that thet are working on rescheduling the band for a future episode."
According to Billboard.com, DEF LEPPARD is "about 85, 90 percent finished" with its next album, which frontman Joe Elliott describes as "a very rock album" tentatively titled "Songs from the Sparkle Lounge".
"I'm not gonna say it's radically different to anything we've ever done," Elliott told Billboard.com. "There's classic DEF LEPPARD. There's stuff that sounds like it's going back to the middle, late-'70s AC/DC and new wave-type sounding stuff. There's definitely some moments on it where anybody that's familiar with our music will go, 'Whoa! I wasn't expecting that!' We've just been very adventurous, musically, on certain numbers."
Elliott said the "Sparkle Lounge" album title refers to a room the group maintained backstage during its 2006 tour dates, where the musicians would congregate with co-producer and live sound technician Ronan McHugh to work up and record ideas.
