Tommy Lee states that Sharon Osbourne became frustrated with Mötley Crüe’s hard-partying lifestyle when the band joined Ozzy on the Bark at the Moon Tour in 1984.

The Crue drummer shared insights about backstage events during a recent appearance on the Zach Sang Show,

Sharon Osbourne Was ‘Called Out’ to Join Tour

Mötley Crüe joined Ozzy for the North American leg of the tour, which began in Europe in 1983. Sharon Osbourne was also traveling with the tour as Ozzy’s manager.

“Put it this way, Sharon was not happy with us,” Lee remarked,

He described the situation as one where Sharon would be “called out” to join the tour due to issues on the road.

“The Motley guys are bringing in numerous girls backstage after the show, and there’s all these girls running around back here, and it’s a party everywhere. And Sharon’s like ‘nope.’ She would fly out immediately.”

Lee claims that Sharon wasn’t always present to reprimand Ozzy either. He asserts that she became annoyed with Mötley Crüe and made her feelings known.

“She took all of our after-show passes from us. We were no longer allowed to have any guests backstage. She cut us off,” he recalled.

How Mötley Crüe Retaliated Against Sharon Osbourne

Mötley Crüe sought revenge for Sharon taking their backstage passes by creating custom shirts to express their displeasure.

“We made special shirts that had a smiley face with a bullet hole in it and said the ‘no fun tour,’ because she came out and just literally shut it down,” Lee shared on the show.

Reflecting on the situation, Lee admitted that Sharon may have been justified in trying to reduce the party atmosphere of the tour.

“It was bad for Ozzy to be around,” he acknowledged.

Bark at the Moon Tour Notable for Other Debaucherous Moments

The Bark at the Moon Tour is remembered for offstage antics as much as for the music performed onstage each night.

The most notorious incident involved Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx and Ozzy in a dress engaging in wild stunts after running out of cocaine. It culminated with Ozzy snorting ants and licking his own urine.

Sixx recounted this incident in the 2001 Mötley Crüe memoir, The Dirt.

“And as I thought, ‘No, he wouldn’t,’ he did. He put the straw to his nose and, with his bare white ass peeking out from under the dress like a sliced honeydew, sent the entire line of ants tickling up his nose with a single, monstrous snort.”

This was followed by Ozzy urinating on the ground before licking up the puddle.
