Early Years
On October 3, 1962, Thomas Lee Bass gave birth to Tommy Lee in Athens, Greece. His father was a sergeant in the US Army. In 1960, his mother was Miss Greece. Athena, his younger sister, is his name. When Lee was around a year old, his family relocated to California. Lee got his first set of drumsticks when he was four years old. When he discovered hard rock and heavy metal, particularly Kiss, Led Zeppelin, and Deep Purple, he was a teenager and purchased his first real drum equipment.
Before quitting his high school marching band his senior year to concentrate on his goal of joining a rock band, Lee was a drummer in the group. Early 1980s Sunset Strip performances by Lee’s first band, Studio 19, were made. At a studio 19 performance, Lee got to know Nikki Sixx, who would later join him in Mötley Crüe. Van Halen and Quiet Riot were two other lesser-known groups performing on the Sunset Strip at the time.
The Mötley Crüe
Nikki Sixx was wanting to start a band that would be very theatrical and focuses on strong metal anthems when Tommy Lee and Sixx first met. Sixx knew he had his drummer when he saw Lee perform with Studio 19. Together, they established the first iteration of Mötley Crüe when Sixx persuaded Lee to quit Studio 19. Mick Mars, a guitarist, soon joined the new group. Lee suggested high school friend and singer Vince Neil complete the new band. Too Fast for Love, the band’s debut album from 1981, was published on its own independent label. Soon after, Mötley Crüe was signed by Elektra Records, and Too Fast for Love was reissued in 1982. Mötley Crüe had a succession of hit albums throughout the next decade, including Shout at the Devil (1983), Theatre of Pain (1985), Girls, Girls, Girls (1987), and Dr. Feelgood (1989).
During his drum solos, Lee was known to use a variety of special effects and stunts, including having his drum equipment float above the audience as he played. As featured in the 2019 Netflix film The Dirt, Tommy Lee and Mötley Crüe were infamous for their partying both on and offstage, as well as the huge quantities of drugs and alcohol they drank.
Private Life
Elaine Starchuk was Lee’s first wife; they married in 1984. They divorced in 1985. Lee married Heather Locklear on May 10, 1986. The couple divorced in 1993. Locklear later married Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora, with whom she shares a daughter, Ava (born in 1997).
Lee was once engaged to model Bobbie Brown after his divorce from Locklear. Lee Anderson married Pamela Anderson on February 19, 1995. They’d only met four days before. Brandon and Dylan are their two sons. The couple divorced in 1998.
Lee was sentenced to six months in county jail in 1998 after pleading not guilty to kicking Pamela Anderson when she was carrying their son Dylan. Anderson allegedly refused to phone her parents and urge them not to come over to the family’s residence, and Lee then assaulted his wife. Lee and Anderson briefly reconnected after Lee was released from prison in 2001. Lee and Anderson reconciled briefly in 2008, even moving in together with their sons, but they split up again not long after.
From 2002 to 2003, Lee was engaged to Prince’s ex-wife Mayte Garcia. Lee was booted out of the MTV Video Music Awards ceremony in September 2007 after a brawl with Kid Rock.
