Def Leppard cancel third leg of tour

Def Leppard have cancelled the third leg of their North American tour.

The Mirror reports that the band posted a statement on their website explaining the decision.

The message said that the gigs had been cancelled due to "unforeseen personal matters".

"We know how truly blessed we are to have such committed fans," the band said. "That's why we've agonised over this decision. Even if just a single concert, we don't take cancelling shows lightly, but unfortunately life's commitments need to be the priority."

Fans will be able to receive refunds from the point of purchase.
