Tommy Lee has become as much of a celebrity for his life off the stage as on. Onstage, he was the drummer for legendary '80s heavy metal hair band Mötley Crüe. The pioneering metal group released a string of multiplatinum albums propelled by the hit songs "Home Sweet Home," "Smokin' in the Boys Room," "Girls, Girls, Girls" and "Dr. Feelgood." Off stage, Lee is known for his marriages to '80s television temptress Heather Locklear and Baywatch bombshell Pamela Anderson. Tabloid newspapers made him even more famous when a private videotape of Anderson and Lee having sex was made public. The pair divorced while Lee served a sentence for spousal abuse. After his release, he completed Mötley Crüe's Greatest Hits tour in 1999 before leaving the band to begin his own project, Methods of Mayhem. He would release one album with the band before taking part in the 2001 Crüe documentary, The Dirt, a tell-all tale about sex, drugs, and rock & roll. In 2002 Lee released his debut solo album, Never a Dull Moment.Reviews
