  • Def Leppard plays "Pour Some Sugar On Me" nearly every night in stadiums, but the band was recently asked to perform at a more intimate location - a Michigan coffee shop.
  • The managers at Oshtemo's Biggby Coffee thought it would be marketing gold to get Def Leppard to perform "Pour Some Sugar on Me" to promote their brown sugar latte.
  • They decided to shoot their shot and ask - and they got a reply back!
  • Def Leppard's agents wrote "Thank you for your inquiry. However, we regret to inform you that Def Leppard will not be able to perform "Pour Some Sugar On Me" at your coffee shop to promote your Brown Sugar Latte. The band is currently on their Stadium Tour."
  • The letter continued "While your offer of 'unlimited bagels and lattes' is generous, appearance fees start at $500,000. If this meets your budget, we may be able to arrange an appearance in the future. We do ask for 12 months' notice. We hope you'll make it to one of their concerts this summer. All the best with your promotion."
  • After Biggby Coffee shared the letter online with the caption "Well, we tried", people in the area have suggested a "Def Leppard tip jar" to raise the $500,000 to get the band there.
