Yes, he lost an arm, but the beautiful part is that the band didn't hire another drummer! They stood by Rick's side and waited for him to recover and learn how to drum with 1 arm. That's goodness!! ❤

The band are from Sheffield, England. Rick lost his arm in a car crash on Dec 31, 1984. The band refused to give up on him. They bought a house in Dublin, Ireland where they rehearsed and Rick worked on a specially adapted drum kit for almost 2 years before he was ready to go back on stage with the band. The rest is history

He lost his arm back in the 80s in a horrific car accident and thought his career was over. His bandmates, who he knew since he was 15 years old, didn't give up on him and waited until he healed and re-taught himself how to play. He has a specialized kit, with foot pedals emulating what his left arm could do. He is nicknamed The Thunder God.

I love it so much when someone listens to Def Leppard for the first time (particularly this song), enjoying the guitar, the lyrics, the DRUMMING... and then they realize-- the drummer ONLY HAS ONE ARM??? yep, legendary Rick Allen, whom the group themselves call the Thunder God! I've been a fan of theirs since 1982.

I've seen reviewers stop and rewind to see if they saw right, jump out of their seat, at least stop the video and ask viewers what was going on. One didn't say anything until after the video was over,and looked up the drummer to read about the missing arm. A bunch will miss it. They'll even comment on the drum kit and Rick playing barefoot,everything but the empty left sleeve.

The drummer, Rick Allen, lost his left arm in a car accident on New Years Day 1984. He was able to have it reattached, but because there were signs of infections he had to have it amputated. He spent a number of years going through therapy, mental discipline, and training through the use of a system where he could use a series of foot pedals to recreate certain drum beats for songs. It's no wonder that lead singer Joe Elliott calls Rick Allen "The Thunder God".

This band, never the same since the death of the amazingly talented but sensitive Steve Clark on lead guitar. A major songwriter, they have never reached the heights of their previous success without him. I adore him and will always grieve for him, lost way too young at only 30, 8th January 1991. He never felt good enough but he was and is still so loved by thousands of us.

After Rick lost his arm in a car accident he told the band "You better find a new drummer." The band told him "You better learn to play with one arm because we aren't doing it without you." True friends.

He lost his left arm in a bad car smash, and had to learn how to play the drums with one arm and his feet, you can learn all about the band and their career in the movie called Hysteria, the Def Leppard story.

Ahhhh my favorite band! These guys are so good live! Seen them 3 times. They are from Sheffield, England. As for the drummer 😮😮 his name is Rick Allen. The God of Thunder lol....he lost his arm in a horrible car accident while the hysteria album was still in production. At the hospital Rick looked at Joe Elliot (lead vocalist) and said once I heal up I'll be back mate. Joe said something like ummm ok.....and the band stood by him! They waited for him to recover and Ric basically invented most of the foot pedal tech he uses to play the parts he's supposed to play with the missing arm. The first show they did after Ric recovered they had a back up drummer off stage just in case. Joe looked over to the backup after 3 songs...and the guy was gone lol! Ric killed it and the rest is history. Seeing this man live is a religious experience!

They're from Sheffield north England. You can see in the video that rick allen clearly has his right arm. He also wears shorts with bare feet so he has the freedom to use his specially adapted drums so his leg can do what his left arm used to do.

Many have explained about what happened to their drummer, but You also mentioned the backing vocals also having similar textures. While they all have good vocals that similarity is because Joe Elliot, the lead singer will also do backing vocals in the studio. Since this is the official video and not actually live recording, Joe can be heard also helping on backing vocals and giving them that really full sound.

5:20 In answer to your question, Mrs penpal, drummer Rick Allen, was involved in a car accident during the band's hiatus after wrapping up their tour in support of their previous album, "Pyromania", and the car had flipped throwing Rick from the car but his left arm was caught in the shoulder strap of the seat belt and pulled his arm off. Thankfully, because of the fact that Rick's accident occurred near the home of a retired nurse who'd quickly rendered aid, the doctors were initially able to reattach Rick's arm but were forced to amputate it again because Rick had developed a serious infection

There's never a good time to lose your arm, but the new electronic drums were just coming out and you could set them to do 2 hits for 1 strike among other tricks. Combined with Allen's own ability and determination, he was just as good as any 2-handed rock drummer.( I've played on a few of the kits--lots of fun ) If the accident had happend 10 years prior, they may have had to replace him.
