During a recent interview with People, Def Leppard bassist Rick Savage revealed that the band have a wealth of new material. According to him, the group are “a few songs short of having two albums.”
Savage said the following:
“We’ve really got enough material, and we’ll have enough material to take us through to the end of the decade pretty much. We’re a few songs short of having two albums.”
He went on to say the band’s next album may arrive in early 2027:
“It’s an ongoing process, really. If we needed to put the album out next week, we absolutely could, but we’re still writing, we’re still recording, we’re still finishing off. It’s like we always say, the last 20% takes 80% of the time to get it right. So, we’re kind of in that process.”
This news comes shortly after Def Leppard released a new single titled “Rejoice.”
