Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliott celebrates his birthday today (August 1), and if there’s one thing we love about him, it’s his admiration for his influences.
We know…most rock stars have some sort of base of fandom, but check out the interview below in which Elliott talks about how he was inspired by T.Rex ,how the band were his “first concert” and just listen to his passion.
Sometimes, it’s easy to put rock stars on pedestals, but it’s always cool to be reminded that at the end of it all, they’re fans just like us.
