This past June, Joe Elliott old the U.K.’s Daily Express that there is a good chance Def Leppard will make headway on a new studio album while he and his bandmates on are on lockdown during the coronavirus crisis.
“It’s always a possibility,” he said. “The one thing about this band is it never stops working, even when we’re not visible. We are always doing something, we’re always writing, we keep in touch with each other regarding putting new ideas together.
“It is very possible that something may occur during this lockdown,” he continued. “We’ve got nothing concrete; we’ll just have to see how it goes.”
