NIKKI SIXX: SEVENDUST's ROSE 'Needs A Standing Ovation For His Dedication To Kicking Ass'

August 15, 2009

MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx has issued the following update:

"MÖTLEY has always been an interesting animal. The magic is somewhat unstoppable because it is what it is, it's MÖTLEY. An incongruous mixture to quote my digital dictionary. Even when accidents happen, we pull it together, even if only by pulling a horseshoe outta our MÖTLEY ass.

"So to get to the point, yes, Tommy [Lee, drums] messed up his hand pretty bad, and yes, accidents do happen, and yes, frustration does happen to everybody, including Tommy, who would rather play drums (even with a damaged hand) than just about anything in the whole world. But following doctor's orders for a few shows is what we have to do right now (or cancel shows).

"We all wanna say we're sorry Tommy has to sit out a couple shows, But we hope to have him back up on the drums [as soon as possible]. Until then, he is at all the shows, jumping around, helping out with vocals and playing piano ever so lightly on 'Home Sweet Home'.

"Now to the hero of the day… Mr. Morgan Rose, the monstrous drummer from SEVENDUST. Morgan flew out with only minutes to go before there were no flights left from Atlanta. He came charging in like a knight in shining armor, drum pedals and sticks in hand, stepping onstage and pretty much nailing the show top to bottom first time out.

"I think Morgan needs a standing ovation for his dedication to kicking ass and helping not only MÖTLEY CRÜE out, but the road crew and everybody else out here whose lives would been affected. Thank you, bro.

"As for now, MÖTLEY CRÜE is a five-piece band… making history, one injury at a time... hahhaha..."
