Tommy Lees 7 Eleven Sticker Shock: Rocker Tommy Lee, iconic drummer of Mötley Crüe, had an unexpected experience during a visit to a 7-Eleven in Melbourne. Upon purchasing four packs of Marlboro Gold cigarettes, he was stunned to discover a total bill of $251.96, owing to the high price of a single pack at $62.99. Expressing his surprise on Instagram, Lee not only highlighted the steep cost but also playfully mocked the store’s slogan, terming it “wonderfully cheesier.”
This incident occurred while Lee and Mötley Crüe were touring Australia with Def Leppard, featuring exclusive performances in major stadiums. Despite the shock at the cigarette prices, Lee has been candid about his commitment to sobriety. During a podcast appearance, he shared that recent medical examinations had yielded positive results, even considering his tumultuous past.
The renowned drummer, known for his wild lifestyle, expressed disbelief at the clean bill of health, given his history of smoking and excessive drinking. Lee, who has been sober for a year, reflected on the surreal nature of receiving a positive health assessment despite the challenges he imposed on his body. This revelation came amid Lee’s confession about his past consumption of two gallons (seven liters) of vodka per day, emphasizing the toll it took on his liver and overall well-being.
As the rock legend continues his tour and navigates the contrasts between his past and present, the incident at the Melbourne 7-Eleven serves as a notable anecdote, shedding light on the unexpected twists in Lee’s journey, both in terms of lifestyle changes and the realities of high-priced cigarettes in Australia.
