Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen has provided fans with an update on his health more than one month after he was attacked outside a Florida hotel.

 

He took to social media to share a photo of himself smiling, thanking fans for their support. Here’s the post he shared on Facebook last Friday:


We’re glad to see he is doing better!

 

In March, Allen was in Florida to perform a show with his Def Leppard bandmates. On the night of the attack, Allen was taking a smoke break outside of a hotel when a man ran towards him at full speed, striking him and knocking him backward. He was injured as his head hit the ground, according to police.

 

The suspect, who is facing a charge of abuse to an elderly or disabled adult without great harm, was arrested that same day and has since bonded out of jail, records show.
