Leppard drummer Rick Allen said anyone who attends the band's concert
in Scranton on Sunday is bound to have a "jolly good time." But he has
more to offer.
Allen and his wife, Lauren Monroe, are the
founders of the Raven Drum Foundation, an organization that seeks to
heal individuals through drumming.
"I'm kind of the inspiration for the foundation itself," he said. "... I'm coming from a place of experience."
Allen
was involved in a serious car accident on Dec. 31, 1984, outside his
hometown, Sheffield, England. In the accident, he lost his left arm,
but he returned to drumming after his recovery.
