Mötley Crüe Share Photo of Brand-New Lineup

Mötley Crüe have announced that guitarist Mick Mars will no longer tour with the band, but they already have a replacement with guitarist John 5. They just dropped a picture of the brand-new lineup.

dMötley Crüe also made a statement about their guitarist stepping down:

“While change is never easy, we accept Mick’s decision to retire from the band due to the challenges with his health. We have watched Mick manage his Ankylosing Spondylitis for decades, and he has always managed it with utmost courage and grace.

“To say ‘enough is enough’ is the ultimate act of courage. Mick’s sound helped define Mötley Crüe from the minute he plugged in his guitar at our very first rehearsal together. The rest, as they say, is history. We’ll continue to honor his musical legacy. We will carry out Mick’s wish and continue to tour the world as planned in 2023. No doubt will it take an absolutely outstanding musician to fill Mick’s shoes, so we are grateful that our good friend John 5 has agreed to come on board and join us moving forward. We’ll see all you Crüeheads out on the road!” – Vince, Tommy, and Nikki
