POP/ROCK - April 9, 1990

Motley Crue Drummer Hurt: Tommy Lee, a drummer with the flamboyant heavy metal rock group Motley Crue, was treated and released Sunday from a hospital after suffering a mild concussion the night before when he fell during a concert at the New Haven Coliseum in Connecticut. Lee, 26, was swinging down a rope from on-stage scaffolding from his elevated caged drum set. Tom Urtz, a Yale-New Haven Hospital spokesman, said that he did not know specifically how Lee fell except that the rappeling stunt “was part of the routine.” The heavily tattooed drummer is married to actress Heather Locklear. The band is scheduled to perform Tuesday in Binghamton, N.Y.
