Congratulations to Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen. Phil celebrates his 51st birthday Monday. After the breakup of his former band Girl, Phil joined Def Leppard in 1982 replacing former guitarist Pete Willis, who was asked to leave due to problems related to exessive drinking.
In 2001 Phil formed the side-project, Cybernauts with singer Joe Elliott. More recently, Phil formed another side-project, Man-Raze with Paul Cook and Simon Laffy. Now in his 26th year with the band, Phil remains active in all aspects of the Def Leppard songwriting process co-writing many of Def Leppard's major hits. Today, Phil lives in California with his wife Anita.
