Speculation has swirled around the future of rock legends Motley Crue following the postponement of their Las Vegas residency earlier this year. The 10 shows originally planned for March are scheduled to begin Sept. 12 and were moved due to an undisclosed health issue surrounding singer Vince Neil. Neil has since returned to the live stage with his solo band, but reactions to his performances have been mixed to say the least.
Bassist Nikki Sixx took to his X account to talk about the upcoming shows and the band’s future. Fans probably shouldn’t get their hopes up for a full scale Crue tour anytime soon.
“Music will always be my life but the road is old,” Sixx wrote in what appears to be a since-deleted post. “Being a rockstar is overrated. Being a creative is where it’s at. The future is exciting and the past was a blast.”
Sixx continued: “Looking forward to these 10 shows with Motley but also extremely excited about all the other projects I have planned for the future not involving being in a band. Love playing the songs and honestly most of them are very personal to me but being on the road is not for me for too much longer. I have a six-year-old girl to raise and five wonderful older kids and a granddaughter to spend time with.”
