The rock band Smashing Pumpkins is enlisting the help of Motley Crue drummer for their latest album. The boys are going to work together on the band's ninth studio album, the first of their upcoming creations due out in 2015.

The album is called “Monument to an Elegy,” according to an announcement on their website, and it's going to feature the drumming talents of Tommy Lee. In order to back the story, the band has posted a photo of the rocker sitting next to Billy Corgan in the studio.

The post also speaks of Tommy being the featured drummer on all nine tracks on the album. Actually, what the announcement says is this: “Here's a shot from the mission out west. Just finished round 1 of tracking drums with Tommy Lee for the new the (sic) Smashing Pumpkins album. Shockla-locka-boom. Yes, that T Lee for all 9 songs of ‘Monument To An Elegy.’”

Meanwhile, Motley Crue fans are getting ready for sad news, since the band unveiled that they would be splitting up. However, they are getting ready at the moment for a massive farewell tour that is also going to feature Alice Cooper. The tour is set to begin later in the year, after which Tommy Lee and the gang are set to go on their separate ways.
