Tommy Lee shocked at cost of item at Melbourne 7-Eleven store during Aussie visit

Tommy Lee got a surprise after visiting a local 7-Eleven store in Melbourne ahead of his performance with band Mötley Crüe.

Rocker Tommy Lee got quite the surprise after visiting a local 7-Eleven store in Melbourne on Sunday night.

The Mötley Crüe drummer popped into the convenience store located on Southbank to stock up on four packets of Marlboro Gold cigarettes only to get bill-shock at the register when he realised one pack of 25s costs $62.99.

“$251.96 for 4 packs of smokes here in Melbourne!!!” he shared his dismay on Instagram, alongside a photo of the receipt.

“7/11 wonderfully cheesier!” he added, mocking the store’s “wonderfully easier” slogan.

Given a packet of cigarettes costs on average $9 in Lee’s native USA, it’s no wonder he was in disbelief at the amount he had to fork out.

Lee and his band Mötley Crüe are currently touring Australia with Def Leppard in a massive stadium tour that will see the iconic bands perform three exclusive Aussie dates this month. They already took to the stage together at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium last Wednesday before performing for Sydney fans at Giants Stadium on Saturday.

They will conclude their joint tour by rocking out at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium on Tuesday night.

Just weeks ago, Lee opened up about his health, revealing on Bill Maher’s Club Random podcast that doctors gave him a clean bill of health recently, despite his wild past.

“I pinch myself on a daily basis,” Lee – who has been sober for one year – said on the episode, joking that maybe the doctor looked at the wrong results.

“I just did the full body scan, where they do head-to-toe everything, and I can’t believe … smoking, drinking, all the f***ing dumb sh*t, or the fun sh*t that I’ve done,” he continued.

“Dude, the doctor was, like, ‘You’re good.’ And I was like, ‘Are you sure you have the …? Let me see. Is that my name on there, or … Because I find that f***ing impossible. This is impossible.”

In the same podcast, Lee confessed to drinking so excessively in the past that he was downing two gallons (seven litres) of vodka a day

“Alcohol’s such a f***ing weird one,” Lee said. “It’s easy to fall in love with, the way it makes you feel, the way it makes you relax. And then, all of a sudden, you’re, like, ‘F**k’ I’m drinking two gallons of vodka a day?’ You’re trying to kill yourself now.”

“Your liver is on crutches at that point; it’s just barely functioning,” he add
