Nikki Sixx has confirmed that Tommy Lee is no longer a member of Motley Crue.
Sixx’s comments come after Lee reporte quit the band last month because Sixx and his fellow bandmates Mick Mars and Vince Neil filed a lawsuit against Lee's manager, Carl Stubner, over pay disputes.
Sixx told the LondonPaper that Lee is definitely “out the band,” adding, that “that’s just the way it is.”
“Tommy Lee kept ****ing around and I said, 'You know what dude, you've got to knock it off'. He said, 'I ****ing quit.' I said, 'fine. I still love you but I don't have time for this'."
Lee said in a statement last month that he felt “fortunate to have been part of the Motley Crüe reunion tour, as well as other opportunities outside of Motley Crüe over the past several years.”

- Way to go for breaking up the Crue again Sixx! You had to go and be greedy, and sue Tommy’s manager...you couldn’t leave it alone. The Crue never survived without Tommy before, it’ll die again. It’s too bad, coming off such a HUGE reunion. RIP Motley Crue...

- The Crue survived just fine without Tommy. It was Vince the Crue couldn’t survive without. Is it fair Tommy’s making money off his tv shows and the rest of the band took a monetary loss because of it? No! I love Tommy, but I’m tired of his crap too. Let him go scratch some records in clubs.

- It’s all very sad, but greed always is. Tommy Lee is Motley Crue. Ask anyone to name the members and the first name they say will be Tommy Lee. Crue won’t survive or thrive without him.

- I beg to differ...I don’t recall Tommy Lee writing any material for the band whatsoever...Tommy couldn’t write his way out of a wet paper sack. Nikki has been and always will be the backbone of the band. Tommy had an opportunity to make something of himself with ”Tommy Lee Goes to College” however he chose to let himself be portrayed as a ”himbo”, his choice to look like a fool.
In my opinion Corabi had a much better voice than Vince anyway.
