Def Leppard Scrap More Gigs

Def Leppard have postponed more gigs as a family member fights illness.

The rock group axed a show in Cincinnati, Ohio on Thursday (07Jul11), revealing few details but putting the cancellation down to the ill health of a family member. That gig will now take place on 27 July.

They have now cancelled more shows, scrapping dates in Wantagh, New York on 12 July, and at Holmdel, New Jersey on 13 July. A planned show in Bristow, Virginia on Saturday (09Jul11) has been postponed until July 31.

In a statement, a spokesman for the band says, "Def Leppard regrets the inconvenience and looks forward to returning."
