Def Leppard have announced that they have been forced to cancel their upcoming dates in India due to "unforeseen circumstances".

The band commented "We are sorry to report that due to unforeseen circumstances, the two shows in India (scheduled to take place on October 17 and 19 in Bangalore and Mumbai, resp.) have been cancelled. We apologize to our Indian fans and we hope to be able to make up for it in the future."

Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliott has issued a statement following his gaff at the NHL Face Off Rocks season opening concert on Thursday Night, where he was seen to put the Stanley Cup down on a table upside down.

Elliott said "I will, as always, take full responsibility for what happened because I have big pucks. However, someone at the NHL should have known better and informed me first instead of keeping the Stanley Cup under lock and key until the last minute. The practice run the day before with a coffeemaker went swimmingly because it, like every other sporting cup I've ever seen, was wider at the top than the base. Ironic isn't it that after that night's gig, a NHL insider told me that long ago the Stanley Cup was also designed to be put down that way!!!

"Like most of my fellow Brits, I'd never seen it before until it was handed to me sideways by which time I had a 50/50 chance of getting it right. Whoops......"

Video footage of the incident can be viewed below.
