Def Leppard Drummer Rick Allen Says He’s Still Dealing With ‘Very Traumatic’ Feelings About Violent 2023 Assault
Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen said he's still dealing with his 'very traumatic' feelings about an unprovoked, violent 2023 assault in Florida.
Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen says he’s still dealing with the fall-out from a 2023 incident in which a 19-year-old man rushed at him and knocked him to the ground outside a Florida hotel. Allen was assaulted in March 2023 outside of a Fort Lauderdale, FL hotel by an Ohio man who allegedly rushed the drummer at full speed and knocked him to the ground. Though he is still traumatized by the incident, Allen will be on board when the veteran band hits the road this year for a tour slated to kick off on May 15 in San Juan, Puerto Rico, followed by a summer of North American festival and amphitheater dates through October.
