DEF LEPPARD: More U.S. Headlining Dates Announced
July 12, 2005DEF LEPPARD have added four more headline shows to their ongoing U.S. tour. They are as follows:
Aug. 31 - Billings, MT @ Metrapark Arena
Sep. 02 - Sioux Falls, SD @ Sioux Falls Arena
Sep. 03 - La Crosse, WI @ La Crosse Center

As previously reported, DEF LEPPARD have set a September 20 worldwide release date for their all-covers set, entitled "Yeah!" Guitarist Phil Collen recently told Billboard.com that the song list for the group's all-covers set has yet to be finalized, as the group decided to record more cuts than it originally planned. He confirmed that the album will include "a bunch of stuff — all '70s stuff. Most of it is songs that we grew up with in England. 'No Matter What' by BADFINGER is going to be the leadoff single. We've done 'Waterloo Sunset' by THE KINKS, T. REX, MOTT THE HOOPLE, ROXY MUSIC and THIN LIZZY. And a lot of it is obscure; it's not the standard stuff. It's not like STONES or BEATLES songs."
DEF LEPPARD's "Rock of Ages", a new two-CD collection of hits, has sold 206,483 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
