Mick Mars Is Pushing Through The Pain: “As long as my brain and my hands and legs work, I’m never stopping!”

Ex-MÖTLEY CRÜE guitarist Mick Mars has been dealing with a lot of negativities from his old bandmates but the 72-year-old legend is determined to not let it end his musical career. He is fighting for his musical legacy.

In an interview with Q104.3 FM, Mars said he’s pushing through the pain and while it may not be pleasant to deal with, he’s focused on getting his solo album The Other Side of Mars to his fans. Delivering great rock music is what drives him.

“The hard stuff, like flying here and doing this—That crap is a little difficult for me to do nowadays ’cause I’m almost a solid bone now. It got a little rough, but that doesn’t mean I’m not gonna do a lot of music. As long as my brain and my hands and legs work, I’m never stopping.”

Mars’ solo record will drop on February 23, 2024 as first revealed by TMD. Speaking about that upcoming release, however, he said it’s very likely he may not be able to tour on it, although if fans demand some one off gigs at historic venues he is open to that.

The Other Side Of Mars was produced by Michael Wagener, who both engineered and mixed Mötley Crüe’s 1981 debut Too Fast For Love. As mentioned before, the album will be available on February 23, 2024, but you can preorder your copy today.

Mars is already planning on recording a second solo album.
