Def Leppard started on a world tour with Mötley Crüe a few days ago, and the tour’s first show was scheduled to take place in Bogota, Colombia, on Saturday. Unfortunately, the band’s frontman was taken to the hospital a day before the show due to respiratory issues, which worried fans. In response to the news, Elliott updated his fans on his condition with a video explanation.
In the Instagram video, the vocalist assured the audience he was ‘alive and well’ and explained that he was diagnosed with moderate-to-severe altitude sickness. After stating that he wouldn’t ‘wish it on his worst enemy,’ Elliott added that the show on Saturday would go ahead without any changes.
Here’s what the vocalist’s words in the video said:
“I am alive and well. Little woozy, I’ll be honest—moderate-to-severe altitude sickness. I would hate to know what severe altitude sickness is. I wouldn’t want to wish it on my worst enemy. But here I am. Apparently, the Internet lit up, so I’m here to put everybody that cares about it’s minds at rest. I’m here, and we’re going on at 8 pm.”
Following the recent health scare, fans were concerned about the condition of Def Leppard’s vocalist. Thankfully, Joe Elliott put his fans’ minds at ease with his recent explanation. Despite the sudden health problem, Elliott seems to be doing well and is still up for the upcoming shows of their world tour.
