DEF LEPPARD has set "Sparkle Lounge" as the working title of its new studio album, the group's guitarist Phil Collen revealed in a brand new interview with Classic Rock Revisited. According to Collen, the CD is being recorded at singer Joe Elliott's house in Dublin, Ireland with Ronan McHugh co-producing the effort alongside the members of the band. "We still have more recoding to do in Dublin but the stuff sounds amazing so far," Phil said. When pressed to compare the new material to a LEPPARD album of the past, Collen replied, "It's a lot more rock and less pop than albums of late so it doesn't really sound like any other albums."
Tragic news for the rock world ... according to CBS47.tv, New Hampshire authorities are investigating the death of BOSTON lead singer Bradley Delp, who was found dead in his home at the age of 55.
WGIR is reporting that police responded to Delp's residence in the small town of Atkinson for a reported untimely death.
Investigators said Delp was apparently alone at the time of his death, but found no indication of foul play.
Boston had a number of hits throughout the 1970s and 1980s, including 'More Than A Feeling', 'Peace Of Mind', and 'Foreplay/Long Time'.
When not working with Boston, Delp played in a Beatles cover band called BEATLEJUICE.
Boston was going to rehearse throughout May, then set out on a big tour in June. Delp was also planning to get married to longtime girlfriend Pamela Sullivan this summer.
