Def Leppard's Rick Allen Shares Message of Love and Healing After Florida Attack
Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen has issued a statement thanking fans for their support after he was allegedly assaulted by a man outside a Fort Lauderdale hotel. Allen, who lost his left arm in a car accident in 1984, was knocked to the ground by Ohio native Max Edward Hartley, 19, after the band played a show at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel with Mötley Crüe. Hartley was arrested and charged with two counts of battery, four counts of criminal mischief and abusing an elderly or disabled adult. Allen is now recovering with his wife Lauren Monroe.
