They will first play a final tour of 70 shows around the world, with tickets going on sale Friday, starting at $15. Alice Cooper has been named as their opening act. And to show they are not kidding around &#8212; the boys even signed a legal contract stating that they&#8217;re indeed retiring and this is the final Crue tour.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/motleyfinaltour.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/motleyfinaltour-300x270.jpg\" alt=\"motleyfinaltour\" width=\"300\" height=\"270\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-37564\" srcset=\"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/motleyfinaltour-300x270.jpg 300w, https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/motleyfinaltour.jpg 540w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<br \/>\nThe band \u2014 Vince Neil, Mick Mars, Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee \u2014 rose to fame in the early 80&#8217;s as a glam metal act in the crowded Hollywood music scene. They went on to have great success and became one of the biggest rock music acts of all times, selling 100 million records and touring the world over and over. They were self destructive rockers to the extreme, battling the law, drugs and alcohol, but one thing remains the same to this very day&#8230; it&#8217;s always been about the music for Crue.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nWhile it&#8217;s certainly a sad day for rock n roll, one can&#8217;t help but applaud Crue for going out on top and not just hanging around way past their expiration date. More bands should learn from this, but we all know they won&#8217;t.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MotleyCrue\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MotleyCrue<\/a><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>M\u00d6TLEY CR\u00dcE today officially announced they are retiring as a band.
