Mötley Crüe to tour again due to “relentless” demand from “whole new generation of Crüeheads”

Mötley Crüe to tour again due to “relentless” demand from “whole new generation of Crüeheads”

Mötley Crüe‘s press release (with little fanfare and no accompanying photograph) today indicates that they will be touring once again after “blowing up” their cessation of touring agreement. This press release gives the impression that this is not how the band members envisioned revealing that they would be touring once again after playing their last farewell show at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, USA back on December 31, 2015.

After days of rumours that Mötley Crüe will be touring with Def Leppard and Poison in the summer of 2020, and sources reportedly confirming this information to RollingStone, bassist Nikki Sixx, lead vocalist Vince Neil, drummer Tommy Lee and guitarist Mick Mars apparently had little choice but to confirm the news that they would be touring again with the following press release on their website:

“Los Angeles, CA, November 18, 2019:

Almost 6 years after signing a Cessation of Touring agreement, the contract is off the table because a whole new generation of Crüeheads are relentlessly demanding for the band to come back together. Following the huge success of their NETFLIX biopic THE DIRT, Mötley Crüe has seen a massive surge in new audience. And the band best known for breaking the rules has destroyed their cessation of touring contract in true Mötley Crüe-fashion, by literally blowing it up.

After 35 years together on stage, and 30 years since the release of Dr. Feelgood, the members of Mötley Crüe parted ways without speaking to each other after their Final Show on December 31, 2015.

Vince, Nikki, Mick and Tommy didn’t come together again until 2018 to participate in the making of THE DIRT movie, which unexpectedly brought them closer together again including seeing them head back into the recording studio after having gone in their own directions for several years. The fuse was lit.

“Since playing Tommy Lee in The Dirt, so many of my fans have said how they wish they could’ve seen the real Mötley Crüe play live,” said Colson Baker (aka Machine Gun Kelly)  “I never thought I would see the day when this would become a reality.  But the fans spoke and Mötley Crüe listened!”

THE DIRT currently enjoys an audience score of 95% on Rotten Tomatoes. And its massive global success earlier this year saw Mötley Crüe’s popularity rush to new highs, catapulting the band’s music back to the top of the worldwide charts with the younger 18-44 demographic now representing 64% of the band’s fanbase. Moreover, in the six months following the release of THE DIRT, Mötley Crüe has celebrated a meteoric rise of almost 350% increase in streams of their music across all streaming platforms. However, most of the new fans have never seen any of the legendary live shows that Crüeheads have relished for close to 4 decades.
