Members of Def Leppard have started writing and recording their next album. It will be their first since 2015.  In an interview with Classic Rock Revisited, Phil Collen spoke of 3 songs and said…“Rick Savage has one, a verse that he sent me. I was messing around with some melodies for that too, and Joe Elliott has this amazing idea, and I have this one that’s kind of finished. I have melodies, a chorus and all the guitar parts. So we’ve started, officially, without even knowing it, the next Def Leppard album.”

Collen confirmed that some recording has also taken place and noted how that process has changed over the years. He said, “The great thing about music now is you can do it any time with your computer.”

As for the timing, he didn’t know of a release date yet. In the meantime, Collen is preparing for a tour and the release of an album in January with his side band Delta Deep.
