Tommy Lee is en blijft gewoon lid van Mötley Crüe, in tegenstelling tot recente geruchten. De drummer en mede-oprichter van Mötley Crüe zou zich op advies van manager Carl Stubner meer zijn gaan richten op reality tv-shows. Hierdoor kon de Crüe niet touren en liep naar eigen zeggen acht miljoen dollar aan inkomsten mis.
"I am actually kinda over rock music… If I sit down to write a song, it's definitely gonna have beats…but just the old drum sound or cheesy rock guitars…I'm just like, ugh! I'm just tired of the same-ole."
In een officieel persbericht heeft Tommy Lee echter weersproken dat hij niet langer lid is van Mötley Crüe:
"I am a founding member of Mötley Crüe. Based on internal band issues aired publicly, my future with the band is uncertain. I have tried to meet with my bandmates repeatedly without success but have informed them that I'm not walking away from my band of 25 years. It troubles me that the current legal issues which were filed by the corporations against my personal manager are separating us and causing more dysfunction. I hope we can work this out amongst ourselves."
