Why Def Leppard Isn’t Doing Shows with Motley Crue in 2024

Drummer Rick Allen explained why Def Leppard isn’t touring with Motley Crue in 2024.
Allen told San Francisco’s 107.7 The Bone, “Well, we’d been on the road, on and off, with Motley Crue for about 18 months, and we felt as thouh we kind of covered pretty much everywhere there was to. We started off in the States, went off to Europe, did South America, came back to the States and then Japan and Australia. And we just felt as though we’d been everywhere.”
He continued, “We would always wanna tour with those guys, but we just felt as though it was time for each of us to move on. Now, we toured with Journey, I forget exactly what year — my memory is terrible; I think 2018, ’17 or ’18 — and it was awesome. I mean, those songs are timeless. And we just thought that it would be great to reach out to them and see if they wanted to do it again. And, lo and behold, they did.”
