Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliott was hospitalised in Colombia and identified with “average to extreme altitude illness” on Friday.
The band arrived in Bogota for the subsequent present on their co-headlining world tour with Motley Crue. And regardless of Elliott’s sickness, Saturday’s gig at Parque Simon Bolivar will go forward as deliberate.
Shortly after arriving in Colombia on Friday, Elliott checked in to a Bogota hospital struggling with a shortness of breath.
In a video replace posted on social media hours earlier than the present, Elliott says: “I’m alive and nicely. Little woozy, I will be trustworthy. Average-to-severe altitude illness. I’d hate to know what extreme altitude illness is. I would not wish to want it on my worst enemy.
“However right here I’m. Apparently the Web lit up, so I am right here to place everyone that cares about it minds at relaxation. I am right here, and we’re occurring at 8pm.”
Def Leppard launched their twelfth album Diamond Star Halos in Might of final 12 months. It was voted one of the best album of 2022 in Traditional Rock journal’s annual end-of-year writers ballot.
