Tommy Lee of Motley Crue stops drumming mid-show during reunion tour due to broken ribs

Despite his doctor ordering him not to play the drums, Tommy Lee was not going to disappoint fans without trying to drum the night away. The tour just began and Tommy was in no mood to ditch the boys and sit out for this moment of fun and catching up with teammates, Vince Neil, Mick Mars, and Nikki Six of the all-popular rock band Motley Crue.

He however was ready with a backup plan just in case and had Tommy Cluefetos ready to take up the sticks for him just in case. He had informed fans on social media beforehand that he broke, not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 ribs just about 14 days ago. He was candid in saying he didn't have a situation where he and his friend Conor McGregor were at a bar breaking into a scuffle but that kind of thing never happened. Lee also shared details of his talk with the doctor with the fans. The doctor told him not to play, but Tommy would have none of it. This tour was after such a long time after all. He said he was stubborn, and he would beast through the songs if required.

Other bands performing, at the Truist Park-Atlanta, were Def Leppard, Poison, the Blackhearts, and Joan Jett. So fans had a whale of a time no doubt with all the top bands there. This entire summer the band would be touring the USA and wrap up the final night in Las Vegas on the 9th of September at Allegiant Stadium.


Tommy promised he has been resting to get back to his usual fitness levels and hoped that he can come back ready to contribute to the tour. Popular songs of the band that fans are likely to hear during the tour are "Girls Girls Girls", "Wild Side", "Looks that kill", "Primal Scream" to name a few. The band was formed in 1981.
