Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen has released a statement in the wake of the attack that left him injured last week. The incident took place after the band had played the most recent of their Stadium Tour shows with Mötley Crüe, at Hard Rock Live, in Hollywood, FL.
According to the police report, Allen was smoking a cigarette in the valet section of the Four Seasons Hotel in Fort Lauderdale when he was attacked. The drummer was knocked backwards, where he hit his head on the ground and sustained an injury. A 19-year-old man was later arrested before being released on police nail.
