Motley Crue’s “Stadium Tour” rolled into Orlando on Sunday, and once again drummer Tommy Lee bailed on the show after just a few songs because he’s suffering from four broken ribs. However, just how he broke his ribs remains a mystery.
Explaining his early departure to Orlando fans, Lee said, “About f***in’ two weeks ago, I broke not one, not two, not three, but four f***in’ ribs right here. Crack. I’m not gonna tell you how because it’s f***in’ bulls***. I wish I had a cool story for you, but I definitely don’t, man; it ain’t f***in’ cool.”
Lee has vowed to perform a handful of songs with the band on every tour stop, letting Black Sabbath drummer Bill Clufetos take over when it becomes too painful for him to play.
