DEF LEPPARD Guitarist Performs With Former Arkansas Gov. MIKE HUCKABEE On FOX NEWS

March 12, 2011

DEF LEPPARD guitarist Phil Collen performed the band's classic song "Pour Some Sugar On Me" with former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (on bass) during an appearance on Huckabee's Fox News show, simply dubbed "Huckabee". You can now watch video footage of the performance below.

Collen previously jammed with Huckabee at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California on January 12 to kick off the 2011 NAMM (National Association Of Music Merchants) show, a massive music-products convention.

DEF LEPPARD and HEART recently announced a joint summer tour.

Collen told The Pulse Of Radio he and his bandmates always look forward to playing their hits out on the road. "Every night when someone's singing along — especially when there's a lot of young kids there, 16-year-olds and that — it is fresh," he said. "It actually makes you feel really good when there's a whole new breed of people just singing away to songs that you've done. It doesn't really matter whether it's a new song or an old song, it's still our song, so it's a huge compliment. It really is, it's the best thing in the world."
