Hi Hans!
This is the info..
<<Spoke to Rick Allen tonight and got a Def Leppard update. He was in
  Dublin for another writing/demoing session a few weeks ago and will go
back in 2-3 weeks.  (Phil Collen already went back.) They have 11-12 songs
and want to get 15 and choose from those. They're doing album-quality
demos and hope to be able to keep as much of this as they can--"the more
quality work we get in now the better it will be when someone else gets
involved."  The initial idea was to get Bob Rock to produce but "we're
open to suggestions."
  If they're in the studio in May (in Dublin, probably) they hope to get
an album out by the end of the year. As for live, they've been asked to do
some shows but whether they will or not depends on the recording and how
they decide to prioritize. There will be a Def Leppard hour long
documentary on VH1 Legends sometime after mid-May--it's a behind the
scenes bio, with lots of interviews including footage shot in Dublin and
with the guys' families.
  Rick's daughter Lauren, who'll turn one May 20, is in it--he says 
she's talking and about to start walking. VH1 filmed a lot of extra 
footage that they're giving to the band but they don't know what they will
do with it yet.>>
 Take care Hans,
    Tammie
