Old Preview (1996): Leppard on the prowl
The latest chapter in the headline-friendly Def Leppard story had Joe Elliot, the lead singer for the mega-selling metal band from Sheffield, England, arrested last week at a West Hollywood hotel for spousal assault.
Elliott and his girlfriend, actually, who both were later released on $50,000 bail each.
But guitarist Phil Collen says the incident hasn't affected the band's equilibrium as they rehearse for their upcoming tour, which hits Molson Amphitheatre on July 10, and promote the release of their new album, Slang, in record stores last Wednesday.
