MOTLEY CRUE announced
The Final Tour and the band's ultimate
retirement, solidified when the band signed a formal Cessation Of
Touring Agreement, effective at the end of 2015, in front of global
media in
Los Angeles on
Jan. 28. Celebrating the announcement of
The Final Tour, the band performed on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" later that night and appeared on "CBS This Morning" on
Jan. 29.
With over 80 million albums sold, MOTLEY CRUE has sold out countless
tours across the globe and spawned more than 2,500 MOTLEY CRUE branded
items, sold in over 30 countries. MOTLEY CRUE has proven they know how
to make a lasting impression and this tour will be no different. Fans
can expect to hear the catalogue of their chart-topping hits and look
forward to mind-blowing, unparalleled live production. "When it comes to
putting together a new show, we always push the envelope and that's
part of Motley Crue's legacy," explains
Nikki Sixx
(bass). "As far as letting on to what we're doing, that would be like
finding out what you're getting for Christmas before you open the
presents. We think in an age of too much information, we'd like to keep
some surprises close to our chest until we launch The Final Tour."
The Final Tour, presented by Dodge and produced by Live Nation, will kick off in
North America on
July 2 in
Grand Rapids, Mich.
and reach 73 markets before hitting international territories in 2015.
To Live Nation, MOTLEY CRUE tours are not only box office successes but
artistically have set the bar for production and entertainment value.
"There's no arguing that Motley Crue have been and always will be the
definitive bad boys of rock 'n' roll," says
Rick Franks, Live Nation's regional president of
North America
concerts. "But behind all those notorious stories is a legendary rock
band that has revolutionized heavy metal and created some of the biggest
hits in music history. They are a hugely successful global brand and a
touring powerhouse. Everyone at Live Nation has a tremendous amount of
respect for these hard-working and extremely talented gentlemen. The
music industry will never have another Motley Crue."
The Dodge Brothers were a notorious duo, so it seemed only natural to
partner with the World's Most Notorious Rock Band. "Whenever I talk to
people about Motley Crue, the common thread is how cool and relevant the
band remains, even after 33 years," said Tim Kuniskis, president and
CEO, Dodge Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. "This irreverent 'staying power'
resonates deeply with the Dodge brand as we turn the corner on our
100-year anniversary. What better way to celebrate the band's final tour
and the 25th anniversary of Kickstart My Heart than to do it together?"
Fans can look forward to very special guest
ALICE COOPER
joining MOTLEY CRUE for an incredible package; Alice invented the rock
'n' roll genre and MOTLEY CRUE put steroids in it! "Real hard rock bands
are hard to find these days," said Alice. "Motley has always gone on
stage with one attitude and that's to blow the audience away. That's
exactly how we do it. Putting Motley Crue and
Alice Cooper
together is going to be just what this summer really NEEDS. We're going
to go out there and tear it up, and I can't wait to see Motley on
stage. Motley Crue and Alice Cooper—a match made in...Armageddon?"
As documented in the Cessation Of Touring Agreement the band signed at the
Jan. 28 press conference, the band will not tour after this final tour. Band attorney
Doug Mark of
Mark Music
& Media Law explains: "Other bands have split up over rancor or the
inability of people to get along, but this is mutual among all four
original members and a peaceful decision to move on to other endeavors
and to confirm it with a binding agreement."
Vince Neil,
Nikki Sixx,
Tommy Lee and
Mick Mars will go their separate ways after the lengthy two-year touring cycle.
Tommy Lee
(drums) explains: "Everything must come to an end!! We always had a
vision of going out with a big f***king bang and not playing county
fairs and clubs with one or two original band members! Our job here is
done!!!" Of the band's tumultuous history,
Mick Mars (guitar) adds: "(It has been) more drama than
'General Hospital;' it keeps 'em watchin' and they keep comin' back." Vocalist,
Vince Neil
says of the Finality of the tour: "I'll miss playing with the guys, but
I won't quit playing rock 'n' roll!! I feel there are a lot of great
opportunities and exciting projects after Motley."

About Dodge BrandThe Dodge brand is tearing into
its centennial year with a keen eye focused on the future and a desire
to create vehicles customers can't wait to drive and are proud to park
in their driveways. With 100 years of history, Dodge is building on the
technological advancements of the '30s and '40s, design evolution of the
'50s, the racing heritage of the '60s, the horsepower of the '70s, the
efficiency of the '80s and unbelievable styling of the '90s as it paves
the road to its future. New for 2014, the Dodge Durango "is kind of a
big deal," with a new eight-speed transmission that delivers up to 25
miles per gallon on the highway, a new 8.4-inch Uconnect Touch
infotainment center and best-in-class power, towing and fuel economy, in
addition to its class-exclusive technology. The new Durango joins the
new 2014 Dodge Dart with its new 2.4-liter Tigershark engine, as well as
the 2014 Avenger, Challenger, Charger, Journey and a 30th Anniversary
Grand Caravan. This 2014 Dodge lineup includes five Insurance Institute
for Highway Safety (IIHS) Top Safety picks and Top Safety Pick +, five
vehicles with best-in-class power, seven vehicles that deliver 25 miles
per gallon (mpg) or higher, three vehicles that deliver 31 mpg or higher
and three vehicles that offer seating for seven.
About Alice CooperAlice Cooper
is a true rock icon, having pioneered the use of theatrics and shocking
images onstage in concerts from the earliest days of the original band
of the same name. Since going solo, he has continued to produce
elaborate stage shows providing fans with both shock and rock of the
highest caliber. Inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame in 2011,
Alice has toured and recorded continuously, with his most recent album
being
Welcome 2 My Nightmare. Recorded with longtime collaborator
Bob Ezrin, who produced the original ground breaking, multi-platinum
Welcome To My Nightmare album in 1975, the album picks up right where they left off, with Alice trapped in his own warped mind.
Alice's catalog of hits and anthems, including "I'm Eighteen," "No More Mr
Nice Guy,"
School's Out," "Elected," "Poison," and others, are included in his
current "Raise The Dead" show, which also features his musical tribute
to his fallen friends
John Lennon,
Keith Moon,
Jim Morrison and
Jimi Hendrix. Currently, Alice's touring band features the three guitar attack of Orianthi,
Tommy Henriksen and
Ryan Roxie, backed by bassist
Chuck Garric and drummer
Glen Sobel. Additionally, "Nights With Alice Cooper," Alice's nightly radio show, is available in nearly 100 cities in the
USA,
Canada,
Australia, and the UK. The show features his favorite classic rock songs along with his insider anecdotes about many of the artists.
