Def Leppard have announced a new album.
'Diamond Star Halos' will arrive on May 27, marking the Sheffield rock legends' first studio LP in nearly seven years.
The follow-up to 2015's self-titled record will also feature a handful of special guests, including singer Alison Krauss, who contributes vocals to This Guitar and Lifeless, and David Bowie pianist Mike Garson, who plays on Goodbye For Good This Time and Angels (Can't Help You Now).
As a preview, the band have unveiled the first single, Kick, which offers all the key hallmarks of great stadium rock, dealing in anthemic choruses and big guitar riffs. Press play below, alongside the LP's cover art and tracklist.
