Rock star Tommy Lee posted a message on his official Web site explaining his scuffle with Kid Rock during MTVs Video Music Awards, and apologizing to Alicia Keys for the incident taking place during her performance.
The two ex-husbands of Pamela Anderson started scrapping after Lee had reportedly spent the earlier part of the evening antagonizing Rock, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie.
As Keys was belting her rendition of George Michaels Freedom, Rock reportedly sucker-punched Lee to spark the fight. The two were pulled apart by security before any more punches were thrown and Rock later received a citation for misdemeanor battery, which could come with a jail sentence of up to six months.
