Rick Allen's Latest Health Update

Weeks after Allen and Def Leppard members provided an update regarding his health status, the drummer shared a new social media post to reveal that he is still recovering from the injuries he sustained.

Leppard shared his status on Instagram Friday by sharing a photo of him.

He wrote, "Thank you all so very much for all of your love and support over the last month. I am still recovering and getting my mind and body ready for the upcoming Def Leppard tour. Just wanted to say hi and let you know, There Will Be Rock!"

Fans sent him well wishes in the comment section. They told him that he has been part of their prayers every day and that they are glad he is recovering well.

Allen suffered injuries when a man named Max Edward Hartley dashed toward him at full speed after hiding behind a pole. After the suspect struck and knocked him backward, the musician sustained injuries as his head hit the ground.

The 19-year-old was arrested and charged with two counts of battery, four counts of criminal mischief, and abusing an elderly or disabled adult. He bonded out of jail after the arrest.
