by Def Leppard will receive recognition on the Hollywood Walk of Fame next week. The news was shared on Instagram.
The band announced the honor through their social media channels. They shared details about the upcoming ceremony.
“Def Leppard will receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on October 9, courtesy of The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce,” the band shared in their Instagram story and feed, citing Variety as the source.
The ceremony is scheduled to take place just over a week from today. This marks another milestone in the legendary rock band’s career.
This recognition adds to Def Leppard’s impressive list of accolades. It reflects their enduring impact on rock music over four decades.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inducted Def Leppard in 2019, cementing their status as one of rock’s most influential bands. The Sheffield-based group has sold over 100 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling music artists of all time.
The band’s breakthrough came with their 1983 album “Pyromania.” The album achieved massive commercial success and helped define the sound of 1980s rock. Louder Sound reported that lead singer Joe Elliott described their approach as an effort to update the English sound of bands like The Who and Led Zeppelin for a new generation.
Their follow-up album “Hysteria” (1987) became even more successful. It spawned multiple hit singles and showcased the band’s ability to blend hard rock with pop sensibilities. Simply Stick noted that this versatility allowed them to transcend traditional rock boundaries and appeal to a broader audience.
The band’s resilience has been particularly notable throughout their career. They overcame personal challenges and continued to tour and record new music well into the 21st century. Their upcoming Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony represents not just recognition of their past achievements, but acknowledgment of their lasting influence on rock music culture.
