Mötley Crüe, Def Leppard, Poison and Joan Jett & The Blackhearts kicked off the long-awaited Stadium Tour earlier this summer. The tour has had a few hiccups including Poison frontman Bret Michaels having to cancel a show due to an undisclosed illness. The trek also got off to something of a dubious start when Crüe drummer Tommy Lee announced to the crowd he was unable to play full sets at first due to pain from broken ribs suffered just prior to the tour.
Oddly on Thursday, Lee apparently posted a photo of his private parts on all of his social media accounts. Lee has 1.4 million followers on Instagram, more than 670,000 on Twitter and 1.2 million on Facebook. The photo had the accompanying caption, “Oops,” leading many to believe the picture wasn’t an accident. The photo has since been removed from Instagram, but it’s still all over Twitter and Facebook.
There were many comments on the photo as Lee quickly began trending. His wife, Brittany Furlan, responded, “OH MY GOD,” while comedian Ryan Sickler replied, “Does the camera add 5 lbs?” Lee also posted a follow-up with a picture of an elephant looking at a male model with the caption: “How do you breathe through that little thing??” A new generation of fans began following Lee on social media after the “Pam & Tommy” series dropped on Hulu. The series chronicled his relationship with Pam Anderson, including their legendary sex tape.
Mötley Crüe has also been in hard rock headlines recently thanks to comments from former singer John Corabi and Hanoi Rocks guitarist Andy McCoy. Recently during an appearance on “The Chuck Shute Podcast,” Corabi talked about how Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx and drummer Tommy Lee responded to his request for help after Corabi’s son was battling a heroin addiction. “Look, at the end of the day, Tommy and I are fine,” Corabi said. “Tommy still texts me. We contact each other on Instagram. But I didn’t do anything until Tommy reached out to me first and said, ‘Hey, Crab. How’ve you been?’ Blah blah blah. Whatever. Or I posted something and he made a comment about it. And then I reached out.”
“I wasn’t mad at them,” he continued. “I was a little disappointed in the fact that… If you wanna be upset with me, awesome. C’est la vie. But you watched my kid grow up. I reached out to them. I did not ask them for money. I did not ask them for anything. What I asked them for was… ‘Hey, you guys have dealt with heroin addiction. How do I handle this?’ I got nothing from Nikki at all — no response. No nothing. And Tommy just wrote back — he just wrote back one word. He wasn’t, like, ‘Oh, sh*t, dude. Sorry. F*ck! Are you kidding me? Ian’s taking drugs?’ Nothing. He just wrote ‘rehab’. No, like, ‘Rehab. Good luck. Tommy.’ Like, nothing. He just wrote ‘rehab’ [and hit] ‘send’.”
McCoy called Crüe “f*cking ripoffs” for going on their “25th goodbye tour or something,” referencing the current Stadium Tour. McCoy appeared for an interview with Artists On Record Starring ADIKA Live! “I speak the truth … I don’t lie, like Nikki Sixx, through my f*cking teeth.” McCoy called Crüe’s decision to name their box set, “Music To Crash Your Car To,” “beyond disrespectful. I thought, and Michael Monroe thought, [that] was the tackiest title, thinking about what had happened… That was in real tacky, bad taste. If you’re European like me, it’s something you don’t do. You respect other people. You just don’t wanna make a buck for yourself. You respect other people.”
Hanoi Rocks drummer Nicholas “Razzle” Dingley tragically died in 1984 in a drunk driving accident as a passenger in a car driven by Mötley Crüe singer Vince Neil.
