Tommy Lee fills the bill

Tommy Lee will assume the US Ozzfest main-stage slot that was left vacant with the passing of Drowning Pool singer Dave Williams. The ex-Mötley Crüe drummer-turned-frontman will join up with Ozzy, Rob Zombie, System of a Down and the rest of the Ozzfest 2002 crew on 22 Aug in Denver, according to his publicist. Lee will continue throughout the remainder of the trek, which winds down 8 Sep in Dallas. Lee has two existing live performances scheduled during Ozzfest's run that might be affected by his sudden change of plans, and his label and management are working out the situation. Lee had previously toured with Ozzfest in 2000, in support of his first post-Crüe endeavor, ‘Methods of Mayhem’, a 1999 album recorded with the band of the same name. His first solo LP, Never a Dull Moment, came out in May.
