Phil Collen – lead guitarist for Def Leppard for over 30 years – will release a memoir this fall. The book, “Adrenalized: Life, Def Leppard, And Beyond,” will be published by Atria Books(a division of Simon & Schuster) and is due out October 27th. In addition to offering insight into the band’s ups and downs over the years, the book will also feature personal never-before-seen photos of Collen and his bandmates..

“It’s fascinating for even me to look back at my life from working in a factory at 16 years old to eventually traveling the world selling over one hundred million records and all the experiences that come with that journey,” Collen says. “I realize that there is a constant evolution of ‘me’ that is still a work in progress even as I continue to be vital and dynamic in my same occupation for the past 35 years well into my late fifties.”

This summer, Def Leppard will hit the road for a North American tour along with Styx and Tesla. The tour kicks off June 23rd in Tampa, FL.
