When a promoted team member changes the group dynamic

We promoted someone to team lead six months ago and they've become completely different - micromanaging everything and second-guessing decisions we used to make autonomously. The rest of the team keeps complaining to me about it but when we're all together everyone just goes along with it and I don't know if I should speak up or if that undermines them.

What we've seen

A promoted coworker has turned into a micromanager, and no one will say it to their face.
