Formed in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England by teenagers Pete Willis, Rick Savage, and Joe Elliott in 1977, at the height of punk rock, Def Leppard forged an accessible melodic version of heavy metal that was slower to catch on at home than in the United States, where a new British Invasion of pop-oriented heavy metal bands revived the fading genre. Def Leppard went on to become one of the most popular rock groups of all time with hits that include "Pour Some Sugar On Me", "Armageddon It", "Animal" and "Rock Of Ages". Let everyone know that you are a fan of the legendary band with this Dept. Of Rock Def Leppard T-Shirt!
