Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee criticized artists who engage in self-promotion during California wildfires.
Lee, 62, took to social media earlier this week to condemn celebrities promoting albums and tours while Los Angeles was severely damaged by the wildfires.
“I’m fucking sick when I see most people [carrying] on social media posting!” Lee wrote on Instagram.

“Guys nobody cares right now — when your record drops or your next concert when so many people are in the middle of one of the biggest disasters of all time!”
He concluded his post by saying, “I realize there’s always comic relief [needed]but Jesus Christ leave it all alone and maybe just stop and see who needs help if you can.”
