DEF LEPPARD have postponed two more concerts on their current North American tour. The shows in Grand Rapids and Detroit have been "postponed until further notice" according to the LEPPARD camp. I can reveal that the band have already rescheduled the shows for August 15 and August 23, respectively.
The August 15 show is now being strongly rumored to be the launch of their Summer U.S. tour, said to be with NIGHT RANGER and one other act (possibly WHITESNAKE or TESLA).
DEF LEPPARD did confirm earlier in the week that their European tour with WHITESNAKE will conclude on July 17 in Nottingham, UK as planned. Promoters have been surprised with the brisk sales of many of the gigs and wanted to extend the tour through August 2 in Lisbon, Portugal. The plan for LEPPARD was solely based on the reception of their upcoming album in America. If the album met a lukewarm reception, the LEPS would stay in Europe before moving onto Japan and Australia. Now that "Nine Lives" is gaining airplay and climbing the RADIO & RECORDS rock chart, the band are aggressively booking shows in the U.S. as we speak. The aforementioned Lisbon date will go on as planned with WHITESNAKE only.
