Def Leppard's New Album Is 'Finished' Says Joe Elliot


. Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliott was in a good mood as he began his Planet Rock radio show last week, excited that the band has completed recording their new studio album.

Fans have waited for a new album since 2008′s "Songs from the Sparkle Lounge" and Elliot opened his radio show with the following good news, "Yes, I do sound very jolly, don't I?!

"I'm jolly because we have finished the new album. Yes, well, apart from the mixing of it. We have sung our last word, played our last solo, hit our last drum. It's done!"

He didn't indicate when the band planned to release the album, but Ultimate Classic Rock reports that he suggested last month that they would release it following their upcoming tours (Europe and Canada this spring and this summer and fall in North America with Styx and Tesla.
