The band are also set to release a brand new live album, "Mirrorball", this summer featuring a mix of live Def Leppard classics, three brand new studio songs and a bonus DVD that contains energetic live performances and intimate backstage footage captured on the road.

According to Joe Elliott this would be the first part of a series of books that will cover the whole history of the band. This part is an overview of their whole career and the following books would be a series of encyclopedia style volumes tracing their history in order starting from the early days in Sheffield.
