Def Leppard Drummer Rick Allen Thanks Fans For 'Overwhelming Support' After Assault
Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen recently took to social media to thank fans for their overwhelming support and good wishes after being attacked outside his hotel in Florida on March 12.
"Thank you everyone for your overwhelming support. Your love and prayers are truly helping. My wife Lauren [Monroe] was thankfully not with me at the time of the incident. We are together now, and working on recovering in a safe space. We are focusing on healing for everyone involved," Allen wrote.
He continued, "We ask you to join us in our effort to move from confusion and shock to compassion and empathy. We understand this act of violence can be triggering for so many people. To all of the fans, veterans, and first responders in our global community we are thinking of you all. Together with love, we can all get through these difficult times."
The drummer was allegedly attacked by 19-year old Max Edward Hartley, according to Fort Lauderdale Police.
Hartley was arrested and charged with two counts of battery, four counts of criminal mischief, and one count of abusing an elderly or disabled adult after lunging at the musician "at a full run" while outside of the Four Seasons hotel.
According to Rolling Stone, the drummer, who lost an arm following a car accident in 1984, "reportedly hit his head on the ground causing injury."
Hartley, who was allegedly watching Allen from "behind a pole" before the attack, hit another woman who tried to help the musician and fled the scene after repeatedly attacking her.

U2's Bono, The Edge Cover ABBA's 'S.O.S.'
U2's Bono and the Edge covered Swedish band ABBA's classic "S.O.S." during a new edition of BBC Radio 2's "Piano Room."
During the show, accompanied by the BBC Concert Orchestra at the BBC Maida Vale studio, the pair also performed their own "Vertigo."
In an extended interview on BBC Sounds, the Edge said, "We're big fans of this Scandinavian band, appreciators of their work in a way that grew over years. We are fans of the Bee Gees which people wouldn't have imagined. We're fans of lots of great songwriters who aren't necessarily seen as very hip, and I guess we're just appreciators of their work."
"I'll tell you what, they're just better songs," Bono added. "You can't be empirical about everything in art, but sometimes songs are just better."
U2 dropped Songs of Surrender, a companion album to Bono's recent memoir "Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story," on Friday, March 17. U2 have reimagined 40 songs from their catalog for the new album.
Songs Of Surrender was curated and produced by The Edge. The band revisits some of the most celebrated songs of their 40+ year career, including "With Or Without You," "One," "Beautiful Day," "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and "Invisible."

Jack White Shares Poem Paying Tribute To Former White Stripes Drummer Meg White
Jack White recently shared a poem paying tribute to his former White Stripes bandmate Meg White.
Jack's poem was in response to a tweet by political journalist Lachlan Markay, who had opined that "the tragedy of the White Stripes is how great they would've been with a half decent drummer. I'm sorry Meg White was terrible and no band is better for having a sh-y drummer."
Several artists, including Roots drummer Questlove, Against Me's Laura Jane Grace, and Jack White's ex-wife Karen Elson, tweeted in support of Meg.
Jack's poem goes like this:
"To be born in another time, any era but our own would've been fine. 100 years from now, 1000 years from now, some other distant, different, time.
"One without demons, cowards and vampires out for blood, one with the positive inspiration to foster what is good. An empty field where no tall red poppies are cut down, where we could lay all day, every day, on the warm and subtle ground."
Jack also shared an image of Meg peeking out from behind a curtain of hair while thwacking a kit featuring the duo's signature peppermint swirl color scheme.
Markay subsequently deleted his post and apologized for the comment on Meg, saying he was "petty, obnoxious, just plain wrong."
"By now you've probably seen an ill-advised (and since-deleted) tweet I sent out yesterday about the White Stripes and Meg White," he wrote on Twitter. "It was an over-the-top take on TWS and White as a drummer, and was, let's face it, just truly awful in every way."

Def Leppard Announce New Album 'Drastic Symphonies' Featuring Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
Def Leppard have announced that their new album Drastic Symphonies, featuring the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, will be released on May 19.
The 15-track Drastic Symphonies features Def Leppard's greatest produced tracks dramatically reimagined and sounding larger and more exhilarating than ever before.
Recorded at Abbey Road Studios, the album includes new vocals and instrumental from the band.
According to a statement, the band has "deconstructed and rebuilt not only some of their most well-known tracks but also some of their hidden gems as well. By and large, they have intertwined the audio from the original tapes and performed them alongside the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. The album includes new vocals and guitars which culminates in stunningly beautiful symphonic arrangements. At different points, you can hear Joe Elliott duetting with his younger self."
"Def Leppard has always enjoyed veering off the expected path - working with the likes of Tim McGraw, Taylor Swift & Alison Krauss for example," said lead singer Joe Elliott. "So, when the offer to revisit some of our back catalogue with the Royal Philharmonic was presented to us, to a man we all jumped at it."
He added, "Although we're far from the first band to ever do this, working directly with an orchestra at Abbey Road on some of our more orchestrated songs seemed too good of an opportunity to pass up."
Drastic Symphonies will be available in CD, double vinyl, limited color double vinyl, picture disc, CD/Blu-ray and digital formats.
Drastic Symphonies Track Listing:
1. "Turn To Dust"2. "Paper Sun"3. "Animal"4. "Pour Some Sugar on Me" (Stripped Version)5. "Hysteria"6. "Love Bites"7. "Goodbye For Good This Time"8. "Love"9. "Gods Of War"10. "Angels (Can't Help You Now)"11. "Bringin' On the Heartbreak"12. "Switch 625"13. "Too Late for Love"14. "When Love & Hate Collide"15. "Kings Of the World"16. "Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad" (Not on all versions)
