To a lot of Def Leppard fans, especially those in the UK, the name Dick Decent should ring a bell. If you haven't heard of him, Dick is a good friend of the band and the guy who usually joins Def Leppard on UK stages to play keyboards during 'When Love & Hate Collide'. He also has a history of playing with Joe Elliott and Phil Collen in their 2000-2001 CYBERNAUTS project.
According to a band update, "Dick has been struck down with very nasty side effects from a prescription drug called Ciprofloaxin. Since then, Dick has been unable to work either at the university where he lectured, or on stage with the many bands that he had toured with previously. Daily life has become a nightmare of pain. Most days he is unable to even walk the pain is so severe.
Dick's friends and colleagues - including Def Leppard singer Joe Elliott - have decided it is time to step up, and they are organizing a gala event on Sunday, December 4 at the Roadhouse in Birmingham, to raise money for Dick and his family to continue to fight this life changing disease. From mid afternoon, bands will take to the stage to perform and give their time to help their fallen comrade as well as raise awareness of the effects of the drug group known as Fluoroquinolone Antibiotics. All proceeds will go to Dick and his family."
