Def Leppard to rock Sovereign
While the workday crowd begins to filter out of downtown Reading, the boys are just getting down to business on the stage of the Sovereign Performing Arts Center.
A couple of helpers emerge from backstage at the former Rajah Theater with a half-dozen cups of fresh Starbucks coffee imported from the Barnes & Noble store in Spring Township.
The five members of the rock band Def Leppard conclude a meeting backstage, where they had to discuss the band's upcoming European tour.
It's approaching 4 p.m., roughly two hours after the scheduled rehearsal was to begin for tonight's sold-out show a few blocks away at the Sovereign Center, and the band has still not assembled on stage.
