Rick Allen is not only known only as the guy who has been pounding the skins for Def Leppard for almost 40 years, he is also making a name for himself in the world of art. Rick’s creative side has been garnering a lot of attention as he is currently one of Wentworth Galleries star artists. Rick will have paintings, wrapped drums, and fine jewelry as part of his Drums for Peace collection that will be on display at the Wentworth Gallery at The Mall at Short Hills on Saturday January 13, 2018 from 5-8pm.
BackstageAxxess recently talked with Rick about his work as an artist, his inspirations on doing various pieces and his relationship with Wentworth Gallery. We also talked about his charity work with Raven Drums which spawned Project Resiliency. Rick goes into detail about his charities, about giving back and how much it means for him to do so. Of course we dove into the recent celebration of the 30 year anniversary of Hysteria and what 2018 holds for Def Leppard.
