Rick Allen of Def Leppard (6 pics)

I remember when this happened, God bless him he kept wailing and wailing on those skins and never missed a beat. Thanks for not giving up.

good man, great band.

You really don't hear the missing trombone during Beethoven's 5th symphony, do you.

Great Band indeed!

Also not mentioned, the band stood by him all the way and didn't go on tour without him. Awesome.

Nice

nice

RESPECT

If I remember rightly, being a fan at the time, he hit a wall on a country road in his Corvette and was not racing anyone. This was in the UK, where locals will know the country lanes are narrow and twisty, and can even catch out the most careful driver.

It was a freak accident, and as he was thrown from the car his arm got caught up in the seatbelt and torn off.

He had started to work out how to drum with only one arm while still in hospital, demonstrating to other band members using the foot-board on his bed as a substitute pedal board.

Dedicated man, with good friends in the band to support him.

Full of energy. Amazing

RESPECT

Arm today gone tomorrow , Respect Rick ,.,.

I love Def Leppard! This dude is a hero!

Respect? Sorry, no. The man is a convicted wife beater. Notice how his disability didn't stop him grabbing her by the throat, dragging her into a bathroom and smashing her head against a wall? Yeah, people with disabilities can do all the things normal people can do. Psycho's too.

ya los vi en vivo y suena exelente, estupendo baterista....def leppard 4ever

Respect

I've seen him play in a video! It is so damn impressive!
