MÖTLEY CRÜE's SIXX: TOMMY LEE's 'Out Of The Band, That's Just The Way It Is'

November 8, 2007

According to Digital Spy, MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx has spoken out about the group's split with drummer Tommy Lee.

Lee departed the band in September after legal disputes with the group.

Talking about the drummer, Sixx told The London Paper: "He's out of the band, that's just the way it is.

"Tommy Lee kept fucking around and I said, 'You know what dude, you've got to knock it off'. He said, 'I fucking quit.' I said, 'fine. I still love you but I don't have time for this'."

Tommy Lee has issued a statement on September 13, 2007 denying that he left MÖTLEY CRÜE, stating that he hopes he can work any outstanding issues with the other members of the group.

"I am a founding member of MÖTLEY CRÜE," he said. "Based on internal band issues aired publicly, my future with the band is uncertain. I have tried to meet with my bandmates repeatedly without success but have informed them that I'm not walking away from my band of 25 years. It troubles me that the current legal issues which were filed by the corporations against my personal manager are separating us and causing more dysfunction. I hope we can work this out amongst ourselves."
