Def Leppard has revealed in a new YouTube video that they have been struggling with a health scare.
The band shared a behind-the-scenes video for their ‘Summer Stadium Tour,’ and talked about the health scare that never happened in Def Leppard history.
“There’s a fungus among us. There’s a sickness in the camp, everybody’s worried,” the frontman Joe Elliott said. “We’re not sharing a dressing room kind of f*cked really. I like sharing a dressing room.”
“Something that has never ever happened in the history of Def Leppard we have five individual dressing rooms. That never ever happened, so yeah. We’re all feeling a little under the weather,” Rick Savage added.
“The two days off before we did this gig were absolutely crucial for us to be able to pull this off because there’s been an illness going around B and we all managed to pull it off tonight and feel good about it,” Elliott said in the end of the video.
The band members all had health scares individually in the past, but never as a band did they experience something like that before.
Last year, Elliott was diagnosed with moderate-to-severe altitude sickness. Following the health scare, fans were concerned about the condition of the singer.
The rocker might have retired around 2015 if it weren’t for Elliott’s vocal rehab, Elliott had trouble controlling his voice and a frozen vocal cord. His doctors said if it were anyone else, they would suggest changing careers. Thankfully, with rehab and no surgery, the rocker got his voice back and was ready to sing again.
