We have one of his art pieces called “Courage After Combat” which my daughter purchased when we went to one of his gallery exhibits in PA. We have many family members who served in the military so the piece is very meaningful for us. It’s a brilliant piece of work. I’d like to say thank you to Rick for taking the time to talk yo us after we bought your artwork 🥰 It’s a beautiful piece of art ♥️
Rick your amazingly talented and proof that dedication, persistence and perseverance pays off, your an incredible spirit and I really think the lads in def couldn't give you up, it's amazing that mutt and some technicians figured out how to make pedals so you could still play, just an amazing story !!!
Def Leppard Drummer Rick Allen lost his arm on December 31st 1984 and six months after his car accident crash he continued to play with the band with one arm.
Top chat. Enjoyed reading it a few years ago but it was good to see the footage. Earthy, likeable musician & artist...I must admit, I never gave 'Slang' a proper listen...the landscape had changed. Time for a reappraisal...
It still blows my mind that after coming back from a car accident, he still plays great!!!!!!!!!! Using his left foot to play his left hand and left foot parts?????? Really cool!!!!
Always great to hear from Rick. We dont get to hear from him often. Seems such a genuine guy
Rick is a really great artist . I hope i get to see one of his art shows one of these days. Please come back to Pennsylvania 🎉❤❤❤😊

He joined Def Leppard on November 1 1978 on his fifteenth Birthday.
The Real Deal, right there
I don't remember them as a prog band lots of fans and critics found their early music first 2 albums as heavy metal
I think he was being relatively funny. It was in reference to the song 'When the Walls Came Tumbling Down', and its spoken word intro.
