  • Summary

  • Welcome to The Singers Talk Podcast based on my book of the same name. This week you’ll hear my conversation with Joe Elliott from Def Leppard. A Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee who has sold over 100 million records, but more importantly to me, he’s a childhood hero! In this episode you’re gonna hear us talk about about being imprisoned by the songs you write when you’re younger, and the solutions that can help with that as you grow older. You’ll hear how meticulous Joe is about taking care of his voice, his incredible work ethic, and how he survives on the road. We talk about those iconic Def Leppard backing vocals, we journey through some tracks from the past, working with “Mutt” Lange, and the struggles Joe went through recording the greatest power ballad of all time. “Bringin’ on the Heartbreak.” And we’re gonna hear how Joe’s been reinventing himself as a vocalist, and much, much more… All my writer’s royalties from sales of the book benefit the kids and families at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital through our Music Gives to St. Jude Kids campaign.
