In June 1988, Def Leppard was riding high on the success of their album "Hysteria," which had been released the previous year and catapulted them into the rock stratosphere. This album was a game changer, featuring hits like "Pour Some Sugar on Me" and "Love Bites," solidifying their status as one of the premier bands of the '80s.
