Def Leppard is getting an authorized feature-length documentary titled “Long Live Def Leppard,” with plans to release it in theaters in 2027. The film is described as covering the band’s journey from its origins as schoolmates in Sheffield, England to its later status as global rock stars, including its induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Variety reports the documentary is produced and distributed through Bleecker Street’s Crosswalk and is directed by filmmaker Jeff Feuerzeig, known for work including “The Devil and Daniel Johnston” and “Author: The JT LeRoy Story.” Rolling Stone similarly frames the project as a documentary focused on the band’s career arc. Together, the coverage emphasizes it being the band’s first authorized feature documentary and highlights its commercial scale, including worldwide album sales exceeding 110 million.
Across the two outlets, the core details align on the title, authorized status, theatrical timing in 2027, and the film’s focus on the band’s Sheffield-to-superstardom story, with Variety adding specific distribution and director credits.
