Motley Crue Announces Official Reunion

November 18, 2019 Ken Pierce Leave a comment

The scuttlebutt and not-so hushed rumors were circulating for a few days about this and wouldn’t you know it….the flurry of such a seemingly improbable occurrence on Facebook amounted to be true – Motley Crue has declared their reunion. Read their official statement down below and I’ll return at the close.

The Press Release:
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.
