-

Just weeks after a near fatal car accident which saw Tommy Lee Sparta being hospitalis­ed, the artiste says he is now looking forward to Sting.

Tommy Lee Sparta was recently released from hospital and THE WEEKEND STAR caught up with the artiste immediatel­y after being discharged.

“I’ll be up and running, if a even inna wheelchair, me a come cram up de place wicked, yuh seeeit,” he said about ‘The greatest one night show on Earth.’

With the exception of Sting, the artiste has cancelled all his upcoming shows until February 2014, while he recuperate­s.

Speaking about the accident, Tommy Lee said he was grateful to be alive.

“Thank yuh God say me an me girl alive. A God tek me outta de car,” he said.

With the accident behind him, Tommy Lee Sparta is still uncertain whether he wants to drive again any time soon. A visibly upset Tommy Lee Sparta said one particular man came on the scene and began to video tape him, instead of offering help.

DARK PATH

He, however, thanked his fans for their support, some of whom visited the hospital bearing gifts.

But what of persons who believe that his accident is God’s way of showing him that the dark path he is on is wrong?
