Career<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Suite 19, Lee’s band, was a fixture on the Sunset Strip club circuit in Los Angeles in the late 1970s, with other up-and-coming acts like Van Halen and Quiet Riot. He met bassist Nikki Sixx, whose bands Sister and later London were on the same circuit. Sixx established a theatrical band that drew significantly on Sister’s mix of occult imagery with a theatrical heavy metal performance, and Lee’s drumming became a favorite of his.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Due to his height and slender frame, Lee lost his surname and earned the moniker “T-bone.” When the band London disbanded in 1981, Lee and Sixx decided to join a new band together. Mick Mars, a guitarist, joined the band shortly after. In search of a compelling leader, Lee mentioned Vince Neil, a singer he had met casually in high school; Neil soon joined the group, and M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce was formed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Film and Television Career<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Lee starred in the NBC reality show Tommy Lee Goes to College in 2004. Lee was also one of the show’s producers. In 2008, Lee and rapper Ludacris began filming Battleground Earth for Planet Green. Lee appeared as Professor Lee in Season 7, Episode 14 of The Goldbergs in 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Personal Life<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Lee has four wives. The first of them was Elaine Starchuk. Elaine Starchuk was the first of Lee’s four spouses. On February 14, 2018, Lee announced that he had proposed to his girlfriend, social media personality Brittany Furlan.
