With 100 million records sold worldwide, DEF LEPPARD continues to be one of the most potent forces in global rock. For the past 30 years the band has been a top box-office draw, consistently selling out arenas worldwide. October 19 sees them issue in Europe (October 21 in U.K. and October 22 in North America) an exciting new live release, "VIVA! Hysteria", across multiple formats through Frontiers Records. Originally released on August 3, 1987, the "Hysteria" album took the already well established DEF LEPPARD and catapulted the band into the stratosphere. The statistics are astounding: the album has sold in excess of 25 million copies and counting. Due to the incredible success of previous album "Pyromania" (released in 1983) and "Hysteria", DEF LEPPARD are one of only five groups who can claim two separate original 10 million plus selling albums in the U.S. The others are THE BEATLES, LED ZEPPELIN, PINK FLOYD and VAN HALEN.
