Joe Elliott and Mick Ronson worked together
Joe Elliott , vocalist of Def Leppard , released a music video in tribute to the late guitarist Mick Ronson . "This video is my gift to the memory of Mick Ronson, who gave me so much in my youth and later when we met," said Elliott.
Ronson recorded with David Bowie and Morrissey , in addition to releasing several solo albums. He died of cancer in 1993, at the age of 46. Elliott helped Ronson record his last album and sang on two tracks. After the guitarist passed away, Elliott finished the album Heaven And Hull , which was released posthumously in 1994.
The music video for “This Is For You” was filmed during Def Leppard’s recent North American tour. The song is part of the soundtrack for the documentary Beside Bowie: The Mick Ronson Story.
