Def Leppard's most recent album, Diamond Star Halos, was released in May 2022, and was voted Classic Rock magazine's best album of that year.

Last year, the band released Just Like '73, a new song featuring Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello, which Leppard guitarist Phil Collen said “is the seed for a new album.”

"We’re actively writing and recording, under the radar," Joe Elliott added.
