When Pyros Go Wrong - now, there's a Channel 5 show in the making. Whether there's any footage of Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee getting attacked by some stage pyros on Wednesday night I don't know, but if there is it is sure to feature.
Anyway, poor Mr Lee was injured by some rampant pyros at Motley Crue's gig in Casper, Wyoming on Wednesday night. According to witnesses, during the band's penultimate song a Roman candle style display went wrong, causing pyros to seemingly "hurtle towards" Lee who, at that point in the show, was suspended on a wire above the stage.
Despite the injuries, Lee carried on to the end of the gig, but was then taken straight to a local hospital where he was apparently treated for burns. A police spokesman confirmed that Lee had been injured at the concert, but added that the injuries were not serious and were being treated.
There has been no official word from the band themselves about the incident, nor on whether it will affect upcoming US tour dates.
