EP 278 - Rick Allen, Drummer of Def Leppard: The Musician. The Artist. The Humanitarian

Rick Allen, is the legendary drummer of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees Def Leppard. One of the world's best-selling rock bands having sold more than 100 million records worldwide.

 

But over the past 13 years, Rick Allen has reached out to teenage cancer patients, children with special needs, at-risk youth in crisis, families of domestic violence and veterans who have served in Vietnam, Desert Storm, Iraq and Afghanistan. 

 

Rick continues his work by helping wounded warriors through Project Resiliency’s Warrior Resiliency Program sponsored by his charity foundation the Raven Drum Foundation.

 

An essential part of Rick's creative life went public as he debuted his fine art collection in 2012, featuring 300 pieces which quickly sold-out. A second collection, released a year later, helped to forge a relationship with fine art retailer Wentworth Galleries.  

 

Rick debuts his newest artwork in a collection called “Endangered Species” at Atlantic City’s Hard Rock Hotel & Casino just prior to the Def Leppard Concert. A Portion of the Proceeds from Each Fine Art Sale are Donated to Veterans Programs via Project Resiliency.

 

Let’s welcome The Musician. The Artist. The Humanitarian. Rick Allen.
