Def Lep Laugh Off Split Story
The band AREN\'T on the verge of calling it quits
Def Leppard have denied that they are on the verge of splitting after rumours started circulating late last year that their number was up.
After calling a halt to a US tour late in 2009 for "personal reasons” there were mutterings that end was nigh for the band. However, frontman Joe Elliot has finally revealed the reason for their tour cancellation.
Elliott insists the trek was only cancelled so he could tend to his wife Kristine, who was expecting their first child. He tells TheStar.co.uk, "There wasn't any mystery to it really. My wife was pregnant and needed a bit of attention from me, which she wasn't getting. There was a lot of things (sic) in our private lives that needed attending to. We're not splitting. Not at all. We often joke, what else would we do? You just can't imagine doing anything else."
