Tommy Lee Criticizes Musicians Promoting Work During Los Angeles Wildfires

The Mötley Crüe drummer called for artists to focus on relief efforts as devastating fires displace thousands and claim lives.

Tommy Lee condemned fellow musicians for promoting albums and tours on social media during the ongoing Los Angeles wildfires, which have killed 25 people and destroyed over 12,300 structures.
Lee urged artists to prioritize helping affected communities instead of engaging in self-promotion, describing their actions as insensitive during a major disaster.
Other celebrities, including Kelly Osbourne, echoed Lee's sentiments, criticizing performative volunteerism and attention-seeking behavior by some public figures.
In contrast, notable figures such as Beyoncé, The Weeknd, and Metallica have delayed announcements, canceled events, or donated significant funds to wildfire relief efforts.
The fires, which began on January 7, have led to widespread evacuations and losses, with many celebrities and local music venues also impacted by the devastation.
