Update: Though the world is slowly returning to some kind of a normal sense, big events like the massive “The Stadium Tour” with Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Poison and Joan Jett & The Blackhearts are not so easily modified. That said, a short time ago, Motley Crue updated their legions of fans via their Official Facebook Page and we have embedded this for your perusal.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: Truth be told, announcements about massive endeavors like this one being pushed back another year do not surprise me at all. Let’s face it…though many of us have been vaccinated there are many who haven’t and refuse to. Many places are still requiring a mask to enter the premises even though its been viewed that if you are vaxxed you don’t have to wear a mask in public. It’s a slippery slope and I think many are fearing lawsuits and to be completely honest there is no way I am ready to be surrounded by thousands of people at a Rock concert just yet. I’d like to see this when its deemed safe to be able to do so and as I close this one up I wonder what you think of the news. Were you planning on doing this one or were you sitting it out based on the conditions? Chime in down below in the comments and I will see you next time. Keep safe out there and I will see you again soon.

Motley Crue & Def Leppard Reveal 2021 Dates For “The Stadium Tour

It was just about three weeks ago when the combined forces of Motley Crue and Def Leppard announced that their much lauded “The Stadium Tour” was being postponed until 2021 (I discussed that HERE for those who need to check their tickets and work out refunds if the times have found it necessary).

PiercingMetal Thoughts: This is some obviously pretty cool news as a lot of us were looking forward to this tour for the summer and as you know, this year is pretty much cancelled based on the Coronavirus. One has to hope that more of a preventative measure is in place to fend off whatever still lingers from the virus in 2021 because I am still not too sure that I will see a show anytime soon. This pains me because I live for the live concert scene and my conventions. What do you readers think? Will you be attending this new set of dates or have you been freaked out to the point of saying “I’ll pass”… Chime in down below and I will see you with more of the everything else we are still keeping up with during this precarious time.
