VH1 Original Movie 'Hysteria: The Def Leppard Story' True Story of One of The Hottest Groups of the '80s
In a music scene marked by excess, it's perhaps not surprising that one of the biggest rock bands of the 1980s fell victim to drug and alcohol addiction. But what's really shocking is that Def Leppard not only managed to overcome the worst kind of personal and professional tragedies — they also re-emerged to play in front of their biggest-ever audiences.
The dramatic true tale of one of the hottest metal bands of the '80s, "Hysteria: The Def Leppard Story" stars Orlando Seale ("Sleepy Hollow"), Tat Whalley ("Joan of Arc"), Karl Geary ("Sex and the City"), Esteban Powell ("Deal of a Lifetime," "Beverly Hills 90210″), Adam MacDonald ("Nuremburg"), Anthony Michael Hall ("Freddy Got Fingered," "61*") and supermodel Amber Valletta ("What Lies Beneath"). The VH1 Original Movies presentation premieres Wednesday, July 18 at 9:00 p.m. (ET/PT).
