 Image created by Jeanne Height: 5'10 Hair: Brown, blond, red, even purple at times. Whatever moves him at the moment. Sav's parents are Sally and the late Kenneth Savage. Sav has two brothers. Bryan, a doctor and John, a chef. As a boy, Sav was (and remains) a devoted Sheffield Wednesday fan. A soccer protege, Sav had the chance to play for either his beloved Wednesday or Sheffield United. Taking advice, Sav decided reluctantly to play for United. They were the more successful team at the time. Even though United never lost when young Savage was on the field, Sav decided instead to investigate his music. All the better for the world of music. Sav formed "Atomic Mass" with Pete Willis and Frank Noon. After a dubious audition in Sav's bedroom singing 'Stairway to heaven' a tall, dark-haired Joe Elliott was hired to sing. When Joe came into the band, the name "Deaf Leopard" came with him. The departure of Noon and addition of Steve Clark and Rick Allen completed the lineup. A little rearanging with the spelling of the name and thus Def Leppard was born. Pete departed the band, and Phil Collen of "Girl" stepped in. Despite having Rick Allen lose his arm in the mid 80's, the band enjoyed unprecedented success with the "Hysteria" album and tour. After the tragic loss of Steve Clark, Vivian Campbell of Belfast, Ireland, joined the group. In 1993, Sav suffered an attack of Bell's Palsy, a condition that causes the facial muscles to weaken or become paralyzed. Enduring the event bravely, Sav has recovered almost completely. Sav now lives in Sheffield England with his girlfriend Paige and her daughter Jordan. Sav and Paige have two sons, Tyler Kenneth and Scott. View Guestbook
