Hot off the presses, this just came across the AP wire:
(10-13) 08:28 PDT Los Angeles (AP) -- Tommy Lee was burned Wednesday when a pyrotechnics stunt went wrong at a Motley Crue concert in Casper, Wyo.
Lee was taken to a hospital for treatment, but wasn't badly hurt, said Sgt. Doug Beran of the Casper Police Department. Beran declined to discuss details of Lee's injuries, citing privacy considerations.
The 43-year-old drummer, who was injured toward the end of the band's set, played one more song before the concert was cut short, Beran said.
Tom Morton, a reporter for the Casper Star-Tribune, said Lee appeared to be injured when sparks began flying as he swung above the stage suspended from a wire, back and forth among several drum sets.
Another witness, Del Kinswoman, described the pyrotechnics as Roman candles.
Roman candles? What, they couldn't afford those things that spin around really fast and look like flowers?
Tommy Lee should be thankful. On their last tour, the only pyrotechnics Poison could afford were sparklers and snakes.
