Sometimes you just can’t take the little boy out of the man.

Tommy Lee is out for several shows on the current Crue Fest tour because of burns to his hand. Lee was playing with some sparklers and ended up burning his left hand.

For the last five shows that started on August 14th, Morgan Rose of Sevendust was filling in for Lee. For the next three shows starting on August 21st, Lee will be replaced by Frank Zummo of Street Drum Corp.

Lee for his part is still trying to stay involved. He is coming on stage at the shows to explain to the crowd why he isn’t playing. He interacts during several songs, and does still play piano on “Home Sweet Home.”

In a posting to MySpace, Nikki Sixx wrote the following:

“…accidents do happen and, yes, frustration does happen to everybody, including Tommy, who would rather play drums (even with a damaged hand) than just about anything in the whole world. But following doctor’s orders for a few shows is what we have to (do) right now (or cancel shows). We all wanna say we’re sorry Tommy has to sit out a couple shows, but we hope to have him back up on the drums ASAP.”

As of right now, there is no scheduled time for when Lee will return to the drum kit.

Recently, Alice Cooper talked with Billboard about the new treats he has in store for fans during his new tour. The tour, called the “Theater of Death” tour, will feature a look back at Alice’s long career.

The concept for this tour was created by Robert Jess Roth, an Alice fan and the director of the Disney stage production of “Beauty and the Beast.” He wanted the lyrics to tell four stories, and at the end of each “act”, that version of Alice would be killed, and the next one brought in.

The tour will run until some time in December, and Alice plans to film the show at some point before the end. He also plans to take this show out again next year. Alice is also working on music for his next album.

If you are an Alice fan, this might be something that you don’t want to miss.

According to Mustaine, this is the best record the band has put out in some time. “This new album is my proudest moment since the famous (or infamous) Rust in Peace album. With this album, I am also very excited to be introducing my new lead guitarist, Chris Broderick, to the world. I have always felt lucky to have had top shredders in that position, but after touring with Chris in support of my last album, I couldn’t wait to get into the studio and see what he could do.”
