Mötley Crüe Responds to Mick Mars Lawsuit

The rest of Mötley Crüe – or at least their lawyer – have responded to Mick Mars’ lawsuit against the band.

Mars is suing his Crüe bandmates, claiming the band dropped Mars’ touring profits cut from 25% to just 5% after he stepped away from touring due to health issues. Mars also claims to have been booted from the band’s various corporate concerns.

Crüe lawyer Sasha Frid called the lawsuit “Unfortunate and completely off-base”, and says the band “Did not owe Mick anything” but still offered him a “Generous compensation package”.

Frid also supported claims that Mars’ guitar playing had begun to slip during last year’s reunion tour.

Mötley Crüe co-founder Nikki Sixx tweeted, “Sad day for us and we don’t deserve this considering how many years we’ve been propping him up-We still wish him the best and hope he [finds] lawyers and managers who aren’t damaging him.”
