Tommy Lee ‘Has His Life Back’ After ‘Monumental’ Hand Surgery

Tommy Lee can twirl his drumsticks for the primary time in years because of a latest hand surgical procedure.

The Motley Crue drummer shared about his “debilitating issues” in a Saturday Instagram publish, explaining that he handled a situation referred to as Dupuytren’s contracture, by which a number of fingers get caught in a completely flexed place. He shared one picture together with his fingers bent and a number of graphic photos of his hand throughout and after surgical procedure. He ended the publish with a video of him twirling his drumstick for the primary time in “a couple years.”

“Well kids, it’s show and tell time — hope this doesn’t wreck your lunch,” Lee wrote. “Only three weeks ago I underwent a hand surgery by @drcohenhandsurgeon [Dr. Glenn Cohen]. He addressed two debilitating issues for me as a drummer, keyboard player and pretty much everything to do with my right hand. And yesterday was fucking monumental for me to the point of tears.

“I’ve my life again and my cash makers,” he continued. “And for you drummers and musicians on the market, I can say it’s potential to repair! And within the final clip I’m in a position to twirl my sticks once more. I haven’t been in a position to do this in a couple of years due to the Dupuytren’s contracture and carpal tunnel points that are actually gone! @drcohenhandsurgeon and the workers there I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL.”

Tommy Lee’s 2024 Plans With Motley Crue

Lee’s hand surgery came at an opportune time, as the drummer will be back on the road with Motley Crue starting in May. The rockers are currently booked for a handful of North American performances, including Welcome to Rockville, Summerfest 2024 and the Ottawa Bluesfest.

The band has also been working on new music with longtime producer Bob Rock, who produced their chart-topping 1989 album Dr. Feelgood. Lee recently told Bill Maher that the band wrote a song called “Canceled” about having never gone through the ordeal themselves.

“There was this text that was like, ‘How did Motley Crue ever not get canceled?’ And we have been like, ‘Fuck, we obtained to write down a tune about that as a result of we did not ever get it,'” Lee said. “We snuck in underneath the no matter threshold, wherever that was, the place we obtained away with fucking homicide.”
