WASHINGTON (ABC7) — For nearly 40 years, Rick Allen has been packing arenas across the globe, drumming for the iconic rock band Def Leppard. But a few years ago he started sharing other forms of art with his personal collection of abstract pieces.
At first Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen was afraid to admit he had a softer side. Mr. Allen, who has banged out percussion behind the English metal band for decades, started doodling as a boy, but then put such endeavors on the shelf in favor of rock ‘n’ roll.
“I wasn’t sure what people were going to say. Maybe I was afraid of people being judgmental — the musician trying to be an artist,” Mr. Allen, 53, told The Washington Times.
With both an art exhibit and a North American spring tour on the horizon, Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen remains hard at work as ever.
