Ex-Crue frontman John Corabi became a member of the band in 1992 as the replacement for the group’s original singer, Vince Neil, and was eventually dismissed in 1996. For a man who doesn’t want anything to do with the legendary glam metal band anymore, he sure keeps busy talking about them.
With Corabi on vocals, MÖTLEY CRÜE released one “critically acclaimed full-length CD.”
When Neil returned to the group in 1997, Corabi formed the band UNION with ex-KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick.
After a recent article emerged online claiming that Sixx issued an ultimatum to Neil to lose a significant amount of weight for the band’s comeback tour or be fired and replaced by Corabi, John posted a statement on social media denying that he had held “secret rehearsals” with CRÜE and shooting down the possibility of him rejoining the band, saying that he was “not even remotely interested in doing that again.”
Corabi told fans during his online rant to “get over it” and to “fuck off.”
On Saturday (September 11), Corabi took part in a video interview with Adika Live! in which he once again touched upon the rumors of him reuniting with CRÜE. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “I can honestly tell you that there is zero chance in hell of any part of that becoming true.
“Nikki Sixx will burn himself alive in Central Park before he picks the phone up and calls yours truly. And if he did, yours truly would just [hang the phone up].
“It’s never gonna happen. Zero chance.”
The only problem is there is a ton of mounting evidence that supports the rumor Corabi is indeed secretly back in Crue.

Firstly, Corabi has openly been working with Crue guitarist, Mick Mars, on his debut solo album. It’s being said this is where the seeds first got planted about the idea of bringing him back into the band to replace Vince Neil.
Secondly, there are two unheard Crue songs from Corabi’s time in the band that may or may not be part of a rumored final album by the band, which would not include Mr. Live Wire himself: Vince Neil.
Now for the biggest shocker. A source close to the band has confirmed for TMD that indeed Sixx has secretly replaced Neil with Corabi, and Corabi was made to sign a confidentiality agreement, so that the cat would not be let out of the bag before the 2022 comeback tour is about to begin. This way the band does not face the possibility of thousands of fans demanding a concert ticket refund.
A confidentiality agreement is used in order to protect certain information that is secret or that is not intended to be shared with the general public.
The plan is to blame Neil for poor health due to bad life choices and reveal Corabi as the new guy at the very last minute before the comeback tour begins. This will weaken the blowback from the Crue fanbase.
So when you see Corabi currently parading himself around from one rock/metal site or publication over and over again, non stop talking about Crue, it should be more than obvious this dude is not telling us the truth.
