Frank Noon played on Def Leppard's The Def Leppard E.P..

About a decade later, Frank Noon played in the band Roadhouse with his former Def Leppard bandmate Pete Willis. He played on Roadhouse's demo, but was replaced by drummer Trevor Brewis before the recording of Roadhouse's album.

Frank Noon was never an official member of Def Leppard. Whether he was asked to join or not is unclear.
