Rick Allen’s story is one of rock and roll’s most inspiring tales of triumph over adversity. As the iconic drummer for Def Leppard, Rick faced what seemed like an insurmountable challenge when he lost his left arm in a tragic accident in 1984.

In this intimate replay conversation which is one of the episodes now part of The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Library and Archives courtesy of Buzz Knight Media Productions, Rick and Lauren Monroe open up about their deep commitment to helping others through the healing power of music. Together, they founded the Raven Drum Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving, educating, and empowering veterans and people in crisis through music and the arts. The foundation provides critical support and therapeutic programs that harness music’s transformative abilities to help those facing physical and emotional challenges.

Rick and Lauren also discuss their vital work with Musicians On Call, bringing live and recorded music to the bedsides of patients in healthcare facilities. Their dedication to using music as a healing force extends far beyond Def Leppard’s stadium stages, reaching into hospitals, veteran centers, and communities where the healing power of music can make a profound difference in people’s lives.

This replay episode captures Lynn Hoffman’s heartfelt discussion with two remarkable individuals who prove that music truly does save lives. Don’t miss this inspiring conversation about overcoming adversity, giving back, and the incredible healing power of music..
