The Rumours Are True - Mötley Crüe Is Back

After almost six years since they signed a cessation of touring agreement, Mötley Crüe have (literally) blown it up and confirmed the band are getting back together.

In a statement issued today, the US rockers confirmed that the decision to get back together was inspired by their work on the 2018 Netflix biopic, The Dirt.

"After 35 years together on stage, and 30 years since the release of Dr Feelgood, the members of Mötley Crüe parted ways without speaking to each other after their final show on December 31, 2015," the statement reads.

"Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx, Mick Mars and Tommy Lee didn't come together again until 2018 to participate in the making of The Dirt movie, which unexpectedly brought them closer together again including seeing them head back into the recording studio after having gone in their own directions for several years."

According to Rolling Stone, Mötley Crüe will kick off their reunion with a stadium tour of the US alongside Def Leppard and Poison.
