In a new Instagram video, Tommy Lee revealed the story behind his ‘intimate’ photo with Ozzy Osbourne.
“What the f*ck are doing you and Ozzy?” Lee’s wife Brittany Furlan Lee asked the drummer in the video. “Ozzy is just grabbing my sh*t,” Tommy replied. “I don’t blame him,” Brittany continued.
“And you look like you like it, too. You’re going, ‘Uuu,’” she added. “I like it,” Lee responded to his wife.
Mötley Crüe opened for Osbourne on his 1984 tour for ‘Bark at the Moon.’ Crüe’s ‘The Dirt’ biopic included many details from their touring with Ozzy.
In the biopic, there’s a scene where Ozzy snorts ants and licks pee in a challenge with Nikki Sixx. Tommy confirmed on a podcast that the story is true, saying, “Full-on true. I know people ask that all the time. They’re, like, ‘Dude, really?’ I’m, like, abso-f*cking-lutely. You can’t make that sh*t up.”
The drummer continued, “Dude, he was so high. All of us [were]. We had just been on an overnight bus ride, and Ozzy rode with us. So we’re doing rails the whole way. No one slept; everyone [was] just drink[ing]. So we’re at the hotel, and no one wanted to go to their room. Everyone wanted to still keep partying. So we go, ‘Let’s go to the f*cking pool.’ We go to the pool.”
“At that time, it was just kind of a thing — everybody was into [trying to] out-rock star and out-gross somebody out, like out-partying. So Ozzy’s wasted,” the drummer shared. “He sees there’s a little trail of ants going all the way to this kid’s popsicle that he left on the ground.”
He added, “And Ozzy looks down and f*cking just snorts the line of ants going to the popsicle. And Nikki’s, like, ‘Okay. Well, f*ck that.’ So Nikki pulls his d*ck out at the pool. This is a hotel. This was, like, the Four Seasons [hotel], I think, in Dallas. And [there were] people, kids, everything.”
“Nikki goes, ‘F*ck that. Watch this.’ Nikki goes to pee on the ground and Nikki’s gonna lick up his own piss to outdo Ozzy. And before Nikki could do it, Ozzy f*cking beats him to it and licks up his piss. And we’re, like, ‘All right, Ozzy. You win. You win, dude,’” Tommy further recalled.
Later years after their tour together, Mötley Crüe also headlined Ozzfest in 2010 with Osbourne.
