This summer’s Maximum Rock Tour will not be the same without Tommy Lee.
Known for playing the drums naked during stadium concerts, shooting up Jack Daniels when the hard drugs ran out, and smacking his wife while she holds their infants, Lee will presumably devote more time to his wife and children (and hopefully Pamela and Tommy III).
In a recent statement, Lee seemed to be tiring of the hard rock lifestyle.
"I will miss them, and the fans, but it's time for me to totally embrace my
family, and my new projects," Lee said Thursday while thinking of "totally embracing" something else.
Motley Crue, in a move that completely ignored all our requests to fill the void left by Lee’s departure, named Guns 'N Roses drummer Matt Sorum as the replacement for the 40-city summer tour. Band spokeswoman, and resident tattoo artist, Ashley Smith, said that Sorum has not accepted yet.
A year ago Lee was given three years of probation for assaulting the lovely Pamela, and ordered to keep at least one hundred yards away from his wife. In a recently reported turn of events, the two have reunited, and are living together in Malibu with their two children.
One has to wonder why Pamela would go back to such a loser when there are so many internet editors/geeks would gladly love her long time.
