DEF LEPPARD To Perform At Australian Charity Event

June 8, 2011

According to The West Australian, DEF LEPPARD will be a part of Channel 7's annual charity event in Australia in October. The band rearranged its Australian tour so that it could play in Perth during the Telethon weekend of October 15 and 16.

DEF LEPPARD's gig on October 15 will be broadcast on Seven during the event.

Channel 7 Perth general manager Ray Wardrop said the station was "extremely thrilled" that the metal band has embraced the spirit of Telethon.

"To change their tour dates and make special arrangements to ensure they are in Perth on the Telethon weekend says a lot about the band and their management team," Wardrop said.
