    I've been out of the country for a few years now, and I was going to come back around June 2009 for a Def Leppard concert but my plans got changed, and then I heard Lep cancelled their entire North American tour. Does anyone know if the Irish gig, it was supposed to be on the week they headlined Download, actually went ahead - and if so - does anyone have any YouTube links etc?

    Thanks in advance

    Leppard cancelled the second leg of their US tour last year due to poor ticket sales. I remember at the time the media were speculating days before the announcement that the band were about to split up which was in the end complete rubbish. The 02 show was excellent and here's to their next.

    I actually taught, looking at footage from the Download festival, they might have cancelled the tour because of problems with Joe's voice - it sounded pretty shot at Download from what I've found on YouTube

    But yeah, let's hope they come back next year!
