With a car accident that caused their drummer his arm, and their guitarist losing his life to alcoholism, Def Leppard was labeled the world's unluckiest rock band for a long time. But their pure determination and stubbornness made them rise above those turbulent times, with hit albums like Pyromania and Hysteria blasting through the charts in the 80s. In this month's edition of Cerita-Cerita Rock N Roll, Ezra tells the story of how these young lads refused life in Sheffield's steel industry to become one of rock's biggest acts. And joining him is special guest, Chris Epting, the author of "Adrenalized: Life, Def Leppard and Beyond", which he co-wrote with guitarist, Phil Collen. A copy of his book is available on amazon.com.
