Regarding his new book, Collen said, “It’s notes of 57 years in 200 pages. That’s it, really. It’s like a TV show without the commercials. Me and my wife, Helen, went over it, and we changed a lot of it.”
Adrenalized really deals with how Collen is the antithesis of a rock and roll lifestyle. The lead guitarist of Def Leppard has been a vegetarian for over 30 years, as well as alcohol-free for 28 years, and a vegan for over four years. Collen co-wrote this book with Chris Epting, who has authored many books, including Led Zeppelin Crashed Here.
In this book, Collen discusses how Def Leppard’s smash hit “Pour Some Sugar On Me” became extremely popular, and he shares his encounters with such global music stars as Robert Plant (of Led Zeppelin), Elton John, Mick Jagger (of The Rolling Stones), the late B.B. King, as well as Taylor Swift. He also opens up about Def Leppard’s 2014 co-headlining tour with rock band Kiss.
