21 Aug
Summary
- Tommy Lee visited a sanctuary for rescued primates in Florida.
- Lee performed a drumming session for a young chimp named Limbani.
- A painting by Lee and Limbani sold for $5,000 for the sanctuary.
Rock star Tommy Lee recently made a memorable visit to the Save the Chimps sanctuary in Florida. This 150-acre refuge provides care for chimpanzees rescued from various exploitative industries.
During his visit, Lee engaged with Limbani, a 9-year-old chimpanzee who had never before met another of his species. Lee treated Limbani to a personal drumming performance on the bongos, an interaction captured on video and widely shared across social media.
This unique jam session was not the only collaboration between the rock icon and the young ape. Together, they created a painting titled "Wild Side." The artwork was subsequently sold at auction for $5,000, with all proceeds directly supporting the sanctuary's ongoing conservation efforts.
