The truth about Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee’s broken ribs is out. He has previously said that he doesn’t have a “fuckin badass story” about how the injury happened, but he refused to give further details.

Now his wife, Brittany Furlan, has revealed that he fell down some stairs while on holiday.Motley Crue’s much delayed US stadium tour with Def Leppard, Poison and Joan Jett kicked off earlier this month.

However, fans hoping to take in the full force of Lee’s drumming have been left disappointed, as he has only played a few songs each night.It became apparent that something was wrong at the first show, when Lee decided to leave the stage after five songs.

Explaining to the audience that he had broken some ribs, he said: “I wish I had a fuckin badass story, like me and [MMA fighter] Conor McGregor fuckin scrapping out in some fuckin bar or something, but I don’t”.Since then, at most shows he has only played the first three songs of the set, before allowing Ozzy Osbourne drummer Tommy Clufetos to take over – although at the band’s most recent gig in Philadelphia on Saturday he returned at various points in the set to play a further five songs.Last week, he told an audience in Orlando: “About fuckin two weeks ago, I broke not one, not two, not three, but four fuckin ribs right here.
