Best Answer

Richard "Rick" Allen, drummer of hard rock band Def Leppard, lost his left arm in a street-racing accident on the 31st of December, 1984 while driving his Chevrolet Corvette to Sheffield, England. The loss of the arm was attributed to an improperly fastened seat belt. The arm was initially reattached, but subsequently removed due to infection.

In what year did the drummer from Def Leppard lose his arm?

In a car accident. The seatbelt lopped his arm off at the shoulder, and the doctors tried to reattach it but it got infected and had to be taken off again. The band, to their huge credit, never even thought about replacing him This last part is not entirely accurate. During the Hysteria tour, the band had a back-up drummer play with Rick Allen even though he had spent time learning to play without the use of his left arm. According to the band, one show when the back-up had arrived late due to a delayed flight, he essentially said to Rick "Looks like you don't really need me anymore."
