Overview

[edit]

Lyrically, the song is about the Omagh bombing of 15 August 1998. After being omitted from tour set lists since the Euphoria World Tour in 2000, the song returned to Def Leppard's set list for their 2015 World Tour with Tesla and Styx and was played during the 2019 Las Vegas Residency .
