“I do, we stayed at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles and then of course, May 20, 1980 at the Santa Monica Civic was our first show opening up for Pat Travers and that was also my first meeting with Tommy Aldridge. I had gotten a brand new drum kit, it arrived in boxes; it didn’t have heads or anything on it, it was nothing but just a brand new kit. He came out and helped me set it up and that was the beginning of a long friendship that I’ve had with Tommy Aldridge.”
“I’m back on the west coast, I’m going to start painting more and playing music and I’ve got a couple of shows coming up with my wife who is also an artist; like I said, it’s great to get us all painting with no technology or computer screens. Def Leppard has a couple of things that I can’t necessarily talk about but what we are quietly optimistic about is playing a tour in 2022, starting out in June. That will be us, Motley Crue, Poison and Joan Jett.”
