Tommy Lee Leaves Mötley Crüe’s Reunion Tour Five Songs Into First Set

According to Yahoo Entertainment, Motley Crue’s Tommy Lee had to make a sudden exit from the stage just five songs into their first set of the reunion tour due to broken ribs on June 16th. It has been more then 6 years since Motley Crue has performed live, and the first set back Ozzy Osbourne drummer Tommy Clufetos had to step in and take over. Tommy Lee explained before exiting that he had recently broken his ribs and was unable to perform prior to Clufetos taking over. He stated, “Okay, anyway, what I’ve got to tell you is about 14 days ago, I f**kin’ broke not one, not two, not three, but four f**kin’ ribs … I wish I had a f**kin’ badass story like me and Connor McGregor f**kin’ scrapping out in some f**kin’ bar or something, but I don’t. The doctors told me, ‘No playing, bro. No playing.’ And I was like, ‘Are you f**king high, bro? We’ve got a f**king tour to do!’ So anyway, I ain’t sitting out for shit. My boy’s gonna help me out here and I’ll see you guys later. On with the goddamn show.” Lee also confirmed later on that day on Twitter that Clufetos will be taking his spot on tour for the time being, the drummer tweeted, “Tommy Clufetos is here to help me out until I’m back at 100% … we’ve all been waiting years for this moment, and there’s no way I’m missing this!”
