Def Leppard have stayed together because they all share a sense of humour

Def Leppard have stayed together for 34 years because they've all retained a "sense of humour".

The band's frontman Joe Elliott, 66, has reflected on spending more than three decades in the spotlight with the same line-up with bandmates Rick Savage, Rick Allen, Phil Collen, and Vivian Campbell - calling the feat "insane" and insisting they have all managed to stay friends over the years because they are able to laugh together.
