NEW YORK (AP) – Def Leppard didn’t really mean to make an album, but one sort of appeared.

Singer Joe Elliott says they got together in February of last year to record a few songs, maybe for an EP.

They had 12 songs and figured they had an album “by accident rather than design.”

Don’t expect to hear any of those songs on the upcoming tour with Styx and Tesla.

Elliott says if they do, they will just end up on YouTube as really bad versions filmed on iPhones.

A release date for the album has not been announced.
