Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen breaks silence on unprovoked attack by 19-year-old

Rick Allen is speaking out for the first time about being attacked by a 19-year-old while standing outside of a Four Seasons Hotel. The Def Leppard drummer was attacked in March.

"I am no threat to you," Allen recalled saying to the 19-year-old boy who had seemingly come out of nowhere and tackled the musician to the ground.

"I don't think he knew who I was, but he must have seen that I wasn't a threat because, you know, I've only got one arm," Allen explained. Allen was involved in a near-fatal car crash that took his left arm in 1984. A post shared by Rick Allen (@rickallenlive)
