Biography
Lucas took up drumming as a teenager, as part of his rehabilitation from a football injury that left one of his legs permanently disfigured. Because of this handicap, bandmate Marilyn Manson frequently referred to him as "Freddy the Wheel", allegedly because he walked as though he had a wheel for a foot.
Career
In music
Before he joined Marilyn Manson, he drummed for the local South Florida band 333 Lunatic Lane, and also India Loves You (a band which also featured future bandmate Scott Putesky). Lucas performed drums for Marilyn Manson from 1990, when he replaced the band's drum machine, until 1995, when Manson decided to send off Sara by setting his drumkit on fire at the end of the set (ironically, Manson forgot there was one more show left on the tour). After leaving Marilyn Manson, he continued to perform under the name Sara Lee Lucas, playing for Florida bands Nocturne, Electro-Shock Therapy, and Kuzmark.
As of 2002, Lucas is the head of the CD and DVD manufacturing and graphic design departments of the Orlando, Florida audio mastering facility MasterLab.
Trivia
- In 2000, he was involved in a rollover accident in his sport utility vehicle. He sued the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, the manufacturer of the vehicle's tires, and, according to his attorney, the injuries he sustained in the accident left him unable to continue performing.
