Def Leppard to Be Honored With Hollywood Walk of Fame Star on Oct. 9

Def Leppard

At 11:30 a.m. PT on Thursday, October 9, 2025, Def Leppard will receive their 2,824th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, located at 1750 N. Vine Street. The star will be dedicated in the Recording category, honoring a band whose music has shaped rock history with over 110 million albums sold worldwide and two RIAA Diamond Awards in the U.S.

Joining the celebration will be emcee Bob Buchmann, along with Jon Bon Jovi and Bruce Resnikoff, who will pay tribute to the band’s remarkable career.

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce praised Def Leppard’s influence and impact in a statement.

“From their explosive anthems to their legendary live shows, Def Leppard has earned a permanent place not only in music history, but now on one of the most famous sidewalks in the world,” said Walk of Fame producer Ana Martinez.

Def Leppard’s lineup — Joe Elliott (vocals), Phil Collen (guitar), Rick Savage (bass), Vivian Campbell (guitar), and Rick Allen (drums) — remains one of the most iconic in rock. From Pyromania to Hysteria, their catalog defined a generation with stadium-sized hooks and unforgettable performances.

But beyond the hits, Def Leppard’s legacy extends into philanthropy. The band has supported numerous organizations, including Make-A-Wish, MusiCares, Shriners Children’s Hospital, and Teenage Cancer Trust, giving back to the communities that helped lift them to fame.

Tomorrow’s ceremony isn’t just another accolade — it’s a full-circle moment. From their humble beginnings in Sheffield to becoming one of the world’s biggest rock bands, Def Leppard will finally take their place among the stars — both figuratively and now, literally — on Hollywood Boulevard.

“WHEN A LEGEND SINGS WITH THE NEXT GENERATION, SOMETHING RARE HAPPENS.” Andrea Bocelli walked out slowly, the lights soft around him. Gianluca Ginoble followed, young and calm, hands folded at his side. When they began to sing, the room seemed to lean forward. Bocelli’s voice felt warm and steady, like a story already lived. Gianluca’s rose above it, bright and fearless, like a promise still unfolding. Between phrases, there were tiny pauses. Long enough to hear someone inhale in the dark. By the last note, no one moved. Then the applause came all at once, loud and almost surprised. It didn’t feel like a performance. It felt like two eras meeting for a few fragile minutes on the same stage.

“THE NIGHT CELTIC THUNDER SANG WITH SOMEONE WHO WASN’T THERE.” The room was loud with anticipation, until the lights softened to a single glow. Then an old recording floated in. George Donaldson’s voice. Warm. Familiar. Impossible to miss. You could feel the shift instantly. Hands rose to mouths. A few gasps. Then silence — the kind that carries respect. One by one, the others stepped forward. Not with speeches. With memories. Small laughs. Cracked voices. Sentences left unfinished. And when the final chorus came, they didn’t sing over him. They sang with him. As if time bent for a moment. As if goodbye could sound like an embrace.
