As fans of the band are looking to see them for the last time on this tour, Tommy Lee has been forced to sit out a second Motley Crue show because of tendonitis in his wrist.
The drummer surprised fans by missing the group’s final appearance in Buffalo, New York on October 14 when he had to visit a doctor after waking up in the middle of the night with the problem and Lee had to miss the band’s October 16 concert at the Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport, Connecticut as the issue showed no signs of improvement.
Lee says on Twitter: “As some of you may have heard, I sustained an injury of severe inflammation to my left wrist and was unable to play the other night in Buffalo. I’m so sorry to say that the injury has not improved and it is unlikely I will be able to perform again tonight in Bridgeport. Regardless, the show must go on and Alice Cooper‘s amazing drummer, Glen Sobel will be filling in for me on drums. I will, however, come on stage to see everyone and also to play the piano with my good hand for the finale on Home Sweet Home. I am told this injury is temporary and I will be back on stage very shortly. I am doing everything in my power to speed up the healing process. I hate not being able to play for you guys.” – Tommy Lee
Motley Crue wraps up the tour with three dates in Los Angeles at the end of December.
