ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.<\/a>\u00a0(KRQE) \u2013 An Albuquerque family\u2019s outing to a Def Leppard concert turned into a once-in-a-lifetime moment, not because of the music but because of what the band when they stopped playing.<\/p>\n

The band\u2019s legendary songs rocked the stage at Isleta. But for Albuquerque couple Sophia Urquidez and Zayden Lopez, the most memorable part of the night came when the spotlight turned onto them. \u201cThey would like me to announce that they are about to have a little baby, and it\u2019s a girl. Zayden and Sophia, congratulations,\u201d said the band\u2019s singer after stopping the show. The band stopped the music to announce the gender reveal for the couple, leading to what some fans may call \u201chysteria.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDefinitely a core memory,\u201d said Zayden.<\/p>\n

\u201cI, like, blacked out. I didn\u2019t know what was happening. I just heard my name, and he starts shaking me, and I\u2019m like, what the heck is happening?\u201d said Sophia.<\/p>\n

The surprise was orchestrated by none other than Def Leppard super-fan and the soon-to-be great-grandma. \u201cShe had the meet and greet, and nobody knew anything but her, so she handed them a letter, and then they stopped the show and they did the reveal,\u201d said Zayden.<\/p>\n

The couple reflected on being able to share that rock star moment with their loved ones. \u201cIt was just really special for not only her, but us and, of course, the baby,\u201d said Zayden.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt means a lot,\u201d said Sophia. \u201cTo have both of our families there\u2026my dad and brother were there and his family, it was just really cool and meant a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for becoming first-time parents, Sophia and Zayden are ready to rock-n-roll. \u201cIt\u2019s a little scary being so young, but we\u2019ve become very excited, and we have a lot of support from everybody and our family,\u201d said Zayden.<\/p>\n

The baby is due early next year. The couple doesn\u2019t have a name yet, but do plan to raise their daughter on Def Leppard music and show her the video of the gender reveal.<\/p>\n
