Two Def Leppard Music Videos Join Pause Collection
Limited-edition art prints of stills from ‘Pour Some Sugar on Me’ and ‘Photograph’ are available to purchase now.
Thanks to Pause, high-quality stills from two classic Def Leppard music videos can now hang on your walls. The Germany-based studio has launched a limited-edition collection of art prints taken from the band’s “Pour Some Sugar On Me” and “Photograph” videos, which are available to purchase now.
Each print comes on matte-grade archival heavyweight 360gsm paper, and includes an official Certificate of Authenticity. The prints are available in three different styles: two framed, and one unframed, in A2 and A3 sizes. Pause has previously developed art pieces from videos by Olivia Dean, Keane, Sam Fender, Black Veil Brides, and Amy Winehouse.
Released in 1987, “Pour Some Sugar In Me” appeared on Def Leppard’s fourth studio album Hysteria, and spawned two different music videos. The first version, which was directed by Russell Mulcahy and is included in this drop from Pause, depicts the band performing inside a broken-down Dublin mansion while it is demolished by a wrecking ball. The actress Rosemary Henderson, who was known at the time for her roles in Irish children’s television, appears alongside the band as a sledgehammer-wielding construction worker.

“Photograph,” on the other hand, came out in 1983 and featured on Def Leppard’s third LP Pyromania. Its music video, which became an early-80s staple on MTV, was directed by David Mallet and shot in London. The clip features both the video debut of Def Leppard’s co-lead guitarist Phil Collen, and multiple cameos by a Marilyn Monroe impersonator. Although the song isn’t technically about Monroe or anyone specific, its producer Mutt Lange has said that the track is all about “young lust in an anthemic song.”
Just last month, Def Leppard also announced plans to embark on a co-headlining tour with the Goo Goo Dolls in 2027. The 45-date run, which will also have support from The Struts, will traverse the United States and Canada between March 2 and July 2. It follows Def Leppard’s recent third sold-out residency at Las Vegas’ Caesars Palace.
