This Def Leppard's drummer lost an arm in a car crash in the mid-eighties. However he decided to keep on playing, and learned to do it with his feet and some programmed drum lines. The band continued as normal, and their next album with their "new" drummer was "Pyromania". What was his name?

B
Correct answer
Explanation
Def Leppard's drummer Rick Allen did lose his left arm in a 1984 car accident but remarkably continued drumming with a customized electronic drum kit. However, the timeline in the question is slightly off - 'Pyromania' (1983) was released BEFORE his accident. The first album after his accident was 'Hysteria' (1987). Despite this factual error in the question, option B is indeed the correct person being referenced.
