Tommy Lee Injured During Concert
AP, Oct 13, 2005 7:08 am PDTA pyrotechnic stunt gone wrong apparently injured Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee Wednesday night during the band's concert at the Casper Events Center.
"The lights went out and Roman candles went off," and someone cursed said Del Kinswoman, who attended the concert with her husband, Eddie, an advertising photographer for the Casper Star-Tribune.
They said Lee was taken to the hospital by ambulance.
Lee had been hoisted on a wire and was swinging back and forth between several drum sets perched several feet above the stage when the fireworks went off, said Tom Morton, a Star-Tribune reporter who was at the concert.
Band member Vince Neil told the audience they couldn't perform an encore because Lee was injured and needed medical attention, Morton said.
Kathy Woodward, nursing supervisor at the Wyoming Medical Center, could only give out the number for the band's publicist, who could not immediately be reached.
Motley Crue was scheduled to perform in Bismarck, N.D. on Friday and in Sioux Falls, S.D. on Saturday, according to the group's Web site.
