Literally
Tommy Lee suffered minor burns on his arms and face during a pyrotechnics explosion while performing in concert in Wyoming yesterday. Apparently, the accident occurred while he was being transported from one drum set to another 30 feet above the stage. It was toward the end of the set, and he played one more song before the band decided to cut the show short.
Motley Crue has performances Friday - Sunday, and reportedly none will be cancelled.
I was thinking tonight that I might pass on their concert here (ticket ordering got a little more complicated than I expected), but this might've sealed the deal.
EDIT 7:46 pm: What a coincidink. While channel surfing I came across MSNBC with a teaser about the Tommy incident. So I watched it. Tommy was OK at the time to make jokes, and did go to the hospital after the show was cut short, but couldn't be found there, so might've already been released (or registered under some other name). Wow..wonder if they'll bring their whole shebang, elevated sets, pyrotechnics and all to Hawaii. Doubt it.

Y'know, that's true. Either that, or they spontaneousluy combust (or was that just Spinal Tap or an X-Files episode?).
Ah, but Vince Neil has been behaving badly recently. Recetnly went into the audience to fight w/a guy who threw a water bottle at his fat, drunken, *ss. And a few days earlier, threw his mic into the crowd and waled off stage.
I've never been at a concert where any performer threw a tantrum or set himself on fire. Let's see what happens when they come here in December!
