Def Leppard received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame during a ceremony on Thursday, October 9th, attended by the entire band.
Jon Bon Jovi was among the speakers honoring the multiplatinum UK rock act, telling the crowd of his friendship with Def Leppard: “We hit it off immediately. Hanging out with [Def Leppard singer] Joe [Elliott] and the guys was like hanging with my own band, but with a different accent.”
