Rick Allen

Rick Allen is the famous English drummer of the rock band Def Leppard. He was born November 1, 1963 and has been playing with them since 1978 even after his accident and amputation. Rick was in a car accident on December 31, 1984. His arm was reattached by doctors but later completely amputated due to infection. He never let his amputation stop him from being one of the greatest drummers in rock history. He is nicknamed "The Thunder God" and was ranked No. 7 on the UK website, known as Gigwise, in the Greatest Drummers of All Time list.

As long as you put your mind to it and stay determined and push yourself, you can do anything and make your dreams, passions, and hobbies still happen. Don't allow the amputation to stop you from doing what you love or want to do!
