Wishing Joe Elliott Well

For a short while, Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliott received hospital-level treatment after arriving in Bogota, Colombia. The band - along with Motley Crue - will play a World Tour gig there tonight. Despite Elliott suffering from "difficulty breathing," he is apparently fine and the show will go on as planned. Perhaps he was just not feeling 100% and went to the hospital for a more-thorough checkup. Or maybe it was the altitude? Let's hope it was nothing more serious!

Performing while sick must really suck, so map props to Joe and every other musician who hits the stage being a little under-the-weather.

What a handsome English granny . . . oh wait, that's Joe! I kid.

Glad it was nothing serious and that he was able to join the boys for a show in the land of blow!

Wow, Elliot looks terrible in that photo

[bkallday]

Yeah he's doing that "I have all my hair so i'm gonna go natural" thing. He would be doing better if he had just shaved it all off! Talk about ridiculous looking! He did still sound good back in the summer when I heard him, though!

[Metalboy!]

WOW! … Talk about getting shocked back to reality!

My life just flashed before my eyes!

Still, glad to see he’s still out there and singing well - thanks for the update, BK. Really should have tried pulling off seeing them when they came to town.
