Two months after being attacked in Florida, Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen opened up about the incident that had him drawing parallels to the traumatic 1980s car accident that severed his left arm when he was 21.
The British rocker, known as the Thunder God, detailed the alleged assault Monday on “Good Morning America” saying he was “totally blindsided.”
“I heard a couple of steps and then I just saw this dark sort of flash and the next thing I knew was I was on the ground,” the 59-year-old recalled. “I landed on my backside and then continued on — hit my head on the pavement.”
