Styx Pay Tribute to Prince and Bowie as Def Leppard Kicks Off 2016 Tour
Def Leppard and Styx kicked off their 2016 summer tour last night in Pensacola, Fla.
Styx opened the show, delivering a 10-song set that made room for tributes to Prince and David Bowie with a medley of "1999" and "Changes" performed by keyboardist/singer Lawrence Gowan. That moment, which you can watch courtesy of the fan-shot footage above, broke up a hits-heavy evening for fans that included Styx staples such as "Too Much Time on My Hands" and "Lady."
Def Leppard, touring behind their recent self-titled LP, opened with the lead-off track and first single from that effort, "Let's Go," and also worked in another new number, "Dangerous," a little later in their 16-song set. Surrounding the new material was the expected assortment of hits, including "Animal," "Love Bites" and "Pour Some Sugar on Me."
