Tommy Lee was replaced five songs into the first show of the Motley Crue ‘The Stadium Tour’ after breaking four ribs.
Lee had the broken ribs before going on stage and thought he would be able to perform but five songs in Tommy Clefetos took over drum duties. Clefetos was the most recent drummer for Black Sabbath and was the drummer for Ozzy Osbourne’s band.
In a statement, Tommy Lee said, “Man y’all ain’t gonna believe this shit. I broke 4 fucking ribs. But I’ve been resting and healing and even through the doctor tells me I shouldn’t play at all, you know I’m stubborn and I’ll beast through the pain every show for as many songs as I can. And have no fear, my boy Tommy Clufetos is here to help me out until I’m back at 100%… we’ve all been waiting for this moment so there is no way I’m missing this. On with the show”.
Lee will be back each night for the tour. Clufetos will jump in when Lee needs to leave.
