Def Leppard cancel US shows
19 Oct 2009

Def Leopard have pulled a number of US tour dates because of what their own website describes as "unforeseen personal matters".

In a statement carried on their website, the band say they "don't take cancelling shows lightly," but "life's commitments need to be the priority".

The band were scheduled to perform at least another 20 dates on the last stage of their current North America jaunt, with the final show set for Beaumont, Texas on November 28. So far there has been no comment as to whether the shows might be re-scheduled.
