The band is set to premiere the music video for "Fire It Up" on May 26 and follow it up by releasing a YouTube premiere-exclusive afterparty that will see the group engage in a discussion about the hotly-anticipated album.

Def Leppard previously released "Kick" and "Take What You Want" from the upcoming album.

The 15-track Diamond Star Halos, which marks the band's first new work since 2015's chart-topping self-titled, Def Leppard, features guest vocals from award-winning bluegrass singer and Robert Plant collaborator Alison Krauss on two songs, "This Guitar" and "Lifeless."

David Bowie's longtime pianist Mike Garson also plays on two songs, "Goodbye For Good This Time" and "Angels (Can't Help You Now)."

The first clip previewing Spinning Gold, a biopic about Casablanca Records founder Neil Bogart, features a live performance from KISS.

The first clip previewing Spinning Gold, a biopic about Casablanca Records founder Neil Bogart, features a live performance from KISS.

The biopic was first conceived in 1990. After several drafts, multiple castings and a decades-long search for the right director, the movie has finally arrived with Neil's son Tim Bogart directing the project.

"Born Neil Bogatz in the Brooklyn projects where he plotted his dreams and schemes to escape from poverty, Neil Bogart was my father - and it's taken me over twenty years to finally tell his story," Tim Bogart said of the project.

"And I know people say that all the time, but the first option on the film really was back in 1999," he added. "From there, through obstacles nearly as challenging as what my father faced in bringing Casablanca Records to the world, the obstacles in bringing this film to light were just as daunting."

The footage, premiered by Variety, captures a live performance by "Kiss" (a group of actors pretending to be the iconic band), while Bogart, played by Jeremy Jordan, watches from backstage.
