December is here. 2024 has flown by and is almost over.
Much like the previous 11 months, this month is a busy month in music birthdays. Let’s get to it y’all.
- The legendary Lou Rawls was born 85 years ago on December 1
- The Doors‘ John Densmore celebrated his 80th birthday on December 1
- Jaco Pastorius, one of the greatest bassists ever was born 73 years ago on December 1
Def Leppard bassist Rick Savage celebrates his 64th birthday today. As a music obsessed kid, I loved Def Leppard. Hysteria was — and still is — my favorite Def Leppard album. Tell me that you won’t rock out to “Pour Some Sugar On Me,” you fucking liars!
Seriously though, Elliot and his bandmates are behind some of the biggest metal anthems of the 80s.
Happy birthday, Rick! May there be many, many more!
