Frank Noon (born 25 December 1959 in London) is a British drummer who played with the bands Def Leppard and Roadhouse[1] with guitarist Pete Willis.
He was preceded in Def Leppard by original drummer Tony Kenning and succeeded by current drummer Rick Allen.
He was succeeded in Roadhouse by drummer Trevor Brewis.
Career[]
Frank Noon was a member of the trio The Next Band before, during, and after the time he was in Def Leppard, and played on The Next Band's Four by Three E.P.
Noon played on Def Leppard's The Def Leppard E.P. in 1978.
About thirteen years later, he played in the band Roadhouse with Pete Willis, who was a member of Def Leppard when Noon performed with them. He played on Roadhouse's demo, but was replaced by drummer Trevor Brewis before the recording of Roadhouse's album.
Noon also play drums for various other bands including Lionheart, Wild Fire, Wild Horses (not the same band that Johnny Edwards, Rick Steier and James Kottak were in), Stampede, Waysted,[2] Di'anno, More and Crazy Lesbians.
Noon was never an official member of Def Leppard. Although he was asked to join permanently, he declined the offer to stay with The Next Band.[3] Def Leppard, just recently booking studio time and very recently without a drummer, hired Noon to play. The studio was the only time they have ever played together.
