What would stadium-rockers Def Leppard sound like in a small, intimate venue? That must’ve been what Biggby Coffee, a local cafe in a small Kalamazoo township were thinking when they tempted the band with a delicious offer: perform Pour Some Sugar On Me at their store to promote their brown sugar latte in exchange for unlimited Bragels and lattes.

Surprisingly, the Oshtemo coffee shop got a reply from the band’s management turning down the offer and shared it online.
“While your offer of ‘unlimited Bragels and lattes’ is generous, appearance fees start at $500,000,” the letter wrote. “If this meets your budget, we may be able to arrange an appearance in the future. We do ask for 12 months notice.”
