Description
Mötley Crüe, one of the most legendary rock bands in history, is still making waves decades after their rise to fame in the 1980s. While they are best known for their hard-partying lifestyle, unforgettable stage presence, and hits like "Kickstart My Heart" and "Dr. Feelgood", the band members are now focused on new projects, solo careers, and business ventures.
With Mötley Crüe's massive 2023-2024 world tour alongside Def Leppard proving that their fanbase is as strong as ever, many wonder: what are the band members working on now? Whether it's music, film, or expanding their legendary brand, here’s what Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee, and Mick Mars (and his replacement, John 5) are up to today.
Vince Neil: The Voice of Mötley Crüe Still Rocking On
Vince Neil, Mötley Crüe’s charismatic frontman, is still actively performing and touring. Despite past struggles with his vocals and health, he remains a rock icon, keeping busy with solo performances and making appearances at rock festivals.
Beyond music, Vince has been involved in various business ventures, including partnerships with restaurants and alcohol brands. He continues to engage with fans through social media, sharing glimpses of his lifestyle, and upcoming projects.
Nikki Sixx: Expanding His Creative Empire
Bassist Nikki Sixx has always been the driving creative force behind Mötley Crüe, and he hasn’t slowed down. He continues to explore multiple creative outlets, from writing books to working on new music projects.
His autobiographies, including The Heroin Diaries and This Is Gonna Hurt, were huge successes, offering raw insight into his past struggles and personal growth. Nikki has hinted at writing more, possibly expanding on his experiences in and out of the band.
Sixx is also keeping busy with Sixx:A.M., his side project that blends hard rock with deeply personal lyrics. He’s been writing new material, though whether it will be for Mötley Crüe or Sixx:A.M. remains a mystery.
Tommy Lee: Music, Mayhem, and More
Drummer Tommy Lee has always had an experimental and wild approach to music and entertainment. Even outside of Mötley Crüe, he has explored everything from hip-hop and electronic music to acting and reality TV.
His most recent solo album, Andro, released in 2020, showcased his love for genre-blending and collaborations. Tommy continues to work on new beats and projects, often teasing new music for his fans.
Mick Mars: A New Chapter After Mötley Crüe
Guitarist Mick Mars officially retired from touring with Mötley Crüe in 2022 due to his ongoing battle with ankylosing spondylitis, a degenerative spinal disease. However, that doesn’t mean he’s done with music.
Mick has been working on his long-awaited solo album, which is expected to have a darker, blues-heavy sound compared to Mötley Crüe’s signature glam metal style. His passion for guitar-driven music remains strong, and fans are eagerly awaiting his next move.
John 5: The New Guitarist Carrying the Torch
After Mick’s departure, John 5, formerly of Rob Zombie’s band, stepped in as Mötley Crüe’s new guitarist. Known for his incredible technical skills and diverse musical background, John 5 has seamlessly blended into the band, delivering electrifying performances on tour.
Mötley Crüe Merchandise: Keeping the Legacy Alive
With the band still actively touring and making headlines, Mötley Crüe merchandise remains as popular as ever. From classic tour t-shirts and hoodies to limited-edition vinyl, posters, and signed memorabilia, fans have plenty of ways to celebrate their love for the band.
