DEF LEPPARD's RICK ALLEN Thanks Fans For Support After Hollywood, FL Incident

Def Leppard 2023. Rick Allen

Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen has posted a new update on social media following the incident in Hollywood, FL last week.

Rick posted a new photo earlier tonight and shared a message signed by himself and his wife Lauren.

View the full statement below.

As everyone knows by now Rick was attacked outside the Four Seasons hotel in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on the 13th March along with a woman who stepped in to help.

Rick has now made his first social media post since this incident and thanked people for their support.

The photo appears to be new and shows he is well on the way to recovery.

His next show of course is in front of over 40,000 fans in Sheffield on 22nd May.

It's more than likely that more than a handful of the crowd might give him a big round of applause when he gets his usual introductions before 'This Guitar' and 'Rock of Ages'.

Which will probably be one of the highlights of the show.

Only two months to go which gives him plenty of time to recover.

There will be rock!.
