TOMMY LEE - TOMMY LEE CONFIRMS MOTLEY CRUE TOUR

Rocker TOMMY LEE has ended speculation about his future as MOTLEY CRUE's drummer by announcing he'll join the rockers when they tour the world later this year (08). Lee reportedly threatened to quit the group last autumn (07), prompting bassist Nikki Sixx to comment on his departure, but it appears the bandmates are back on friendly terms. In a new posting on his website, the drummer announced the band will tour the globe from 4 July (08). He writes, "I never quit! Silly rumours! We're all together!" Further suggesting all is harmonious in the Crue camp, Sixx recently posted his own online message, stating, "The chemistry in the studio as we're writing (the new album) is unbelievable."
