Let's hear it for one armed drummer's
Accident and recovery
On December 31, 1984, on the way to a New Year's eve party at his family's home at Sheffield, UK, 21-year-old Allen was racing his Chevrolet Corvette against an Alfa Romeo. The driver had been egging Rick on and not allowing him to pass. In his rage to pass this driver, he did not see the turn up ahead and lost control of his car, which sailed over a stone wall, and into a field, causing him to be thrown from the car resulting in the severing of his left arm due to the seatbelt not being properly fastened in the first place. His girlfriend was left hanging upside down in the car. Luckily, a passerby was a nurse and helped Rick who had been wandering around in the field muttering, "I'm a famous rock drummer". Doctors reattached his arm, but due to infection it was removed again.
