Happy birthday, Rick Savage, Def Leppard bass guitarist


Richard "Rick" Savage, born December 1960 in Yorkshire, England, is bass guitarist and a founding member of Def Leppard.  He and Joe Elliott are the only two remaining original members of the band.  

In 1976, Savage was working to form a band, and the group auditioned Joe Elliott.  Later they hired guitarist Steve Clark and changed their name to Def Leppard.  He has performed on every album.

In 1994, Savage contracted Bell's Palsy, which is a temporary paralysis of facial muscles.
