Tommy Lee Temporarily Sidelined By Injury
Crue’s drummer, Tommy Lee, has to sit out of a few CrueFest dates due to a hand injury sustained by playing with sparklers. Sparklers, really?!
Nikki Sixx confirmed the news on his MySpace blog, “Yes Tommy messed up his hand pretty bad, and yes accidents do happen and yes frustration does happen to everybody including Tommy who would rather play drums (even with a damaged hand) than just about anything in the whole world.”
He will miss a few shows, but the band opted to replace him rather than cancel any dates. Sevendust drummer Morgan Rose will fill in while Tommy recovers.
Sixx gushed about Rose, “I think Morgan needs a standing ovation for his dedication to kicking ass and helping not only Motley Crue out, but the road crew and everybody else out here whose life’s (sic) would been effected (sic)… Thank you bro.”
