Tommy Lee burned at US concert
Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee was burned when a pyrotechnics stunt went wrong at a concert in Wyoming.
Lee played one more song after he was injured toward the end of last night’s show, said Sgt. Doug Beran of the Casper Police Department. But after a short break, another band member said the concert had to be cut short because of the drummer’s injuries, Beran said.
Lee – the former husband of one-time Baywatch star Pamela Anderson – was taken to a hospital for treatment, but was not badly injured, he said.
Tom Morton, a reporter for the Casper Star-Tribune who attended the concert, said Lee appeared to be injured when sparks began flying ashe swung above the stage suspended from a wire.
Another witness, Del Kinswoman, described the pyrotechnics as Roman candles.
The band is best known for 1980s hits including Girls, Girls, Girls, Smokin’ in the Boys Room and Home Sweet Home.
Lee recently starred in the NBC reality television show Tommy Lee Goes to College, which followed him as he attended classes and auditioned for the marching band at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
