To celebrate their sold-out European arena tour, Def Leppard has released a limited-edition, newly mastered Greatest Hits vinyl set in two formats: standard black vinyl and a special blood red marbled edition with exclusive 2026 tour artwork, available only at tour venues.
The 10-track collection spans the band’s core catalog. Side one features “Pour Some Sugar On Me,” “Hysteria,” “Photograph,” “Love Bites,” and “Animal.” Side two collects “Rock Of Ages,” “When Love And Hate Collide,” “Bringin’ On The Heartbreak,” “Foolin’,” and “Armageddon It.”

In January, Def Leppard released a new single, “Rejoice,” ahead of their Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace, which ran from Feb. 3 through Feb. 28. In January 2025, the band released a cover of Ben E. King‘s 1961 classic “Stand By Me” as a benefit for FireAid, with all proceeds going to those affected by the Los Angeles fires. The cover also appears in the Netflix film Bank Of Dave 2: The Loan Ranger.
In June 2024, Def Leppard released “Just Like 73,” featuring a guest guitar solo from Rage Against The Machine‘s Tom Morello. Their 12th studio album, Diamond Star Halos, came out in 2022, followed in 2023 by Drastic Symphonies — a reimagining of classic material with London’s Royal Philharmonic Orchestra recorded at Abbey Road. That album spent 15 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Current Classical chart.
Guitarist Vivian Campbell, who joined Def Leppard in 1992 after earlier work with Dio and Whitesnake, underwent a bone marrow transplant in late 2024 as part of his ongoing treatment for Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a condition he disclosed publicly in June 2013. In June 2025, Campbell confirmed he is “completely in remission.” Def Leppard was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March 2019.
