July 8, 2011

According to The Pulse Of Radio, an unspecified family illness has forced DEF LEPPARD to postpone a few of its joint summer dates with HEART. Pollstar.com reported that last night's (July 7) Cincinnati show at Riverbend Music Center has been rescheduled for July 27, with tickets for the postponed show being accepted that night. Live Nation has announced that the band's July 12 gig at Wantagh, New York's Nikon at Jones Beach Theater and the July 13 show in Holmdel, New Jersey's PNC Bank Arts Center have also been postponed, with no new dates announced as of yet. Meanwhile, tomorrow night's (Saturday, July 9) show at Bristow, Virginia's Jiffy Lube Live will now take place on July 31.

Commented the band: "DEF LEPPARD regrets the inconvenience and looks forward to returning to Jiffy Lube Live in several weeks. Tickets purchased for the July 9 date will be honored for the new date."

DEF LEPPARD's new album, "Mirror Ball", sold around 20,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 16 on The Billboard 200 chart.

"Mirror Ball" is available exclusively at Walmart and Sam's Club locations in the United States and Canada. The album includes a 50-minute DVD that contains live performances and intimate backstage footage of the band captured on the road. A special limited vinyl edition is also available. "Mirror Ball" is also available online, marking the first time the band's music was officially available for digital purchase.
