Def Leppard had three albums under their belt and a breakthrough album with their 1983 album Pyromania. They were rising up in the 80s hair metal ranks and acquiring an American fanbase. Things were looking up for them, that is until the night of New Years Eve 1984 changed everything for drummer Rick Allen when a near fatal car accident left him mangled and uncertain of his future with the band. Tune in this week on the accident that befell Rick, and how Def Leppard persevered through tragedy to create their best follow up album, Hysteria.
