Defying Gravity is the ninth studio album from American hard rock band Mr. Big. It is their first album to feature drumming contributions from Matt Starr, who has been filling in since 2014, as founding member Pat Torpey was unable to perform drums on most songs due to his Parkinson's disease diagnosis, but performs on some tracks and is credited as "drum producer".[4] Defying Gravity was Torpey's final studio appearance prior to his death on February 7, 2018.
