Motley Crue has officially entered middle age. The legendary rockers celebrated the band’s 40th birthday on Sunday. It was January 17th, 1981 when Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee first jammed together with original singer-guitarist Greg Leon – who was soon replaced with Mick Mars and Vince Neil. Sixx said he was “beyond grateful” for “this journey with my brothers”. Lee said it was “like a rollercoaster” while Neil celebrated “a lifetime of memories!!” Will the Crue get to celebrate their 40th anniversary on stage? Their much-hyped ‘Stadium Tour’ reunion was put on hold last year but is currently set to resume in July.
Mötley Crüe 40th Anniversary!

We can’t forget the 4 decades of fans who have counted themselves as CRÜEHEADS from day 1, supporting us through it all. To them we are in debt – thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Happy 40th Birthday.

Will the ‘Stadium Tour’ will happen in 2021?
