MÖTLEY CRÜE held a press conference on January 28 at Hotel Roosevelt in Los Angeles where they announced that the band will launch its "Final Tour" later this year, with the group planning to play 72 shows in North America in 2014 and more overseas in 2015. Making it official, the four members of the band had their lawyer draw up a formal "cessation of touring" agreement that goes into effect at the end of 2015 and prohibits the members of the group from going on the road again under the MÖTLEY CRÜE banner.No mention was made of whether the CRÜE will record a new album to go along with the tour, although the group hinted at the possibility.Asked by VH1 Radio Network's Dave Basner if there will be a new studio CD from the band at some point in the future, MÖTLEY CRÜE guitarist Mick Mars said: "I don't know. I would say it's not impossible but the possibility is pretty remote. That's the best I can do with it."Mick also spoke to VH1 Radio Network about what would happen if one or more members of MÖTLEY CRÜE were to break their "cessation of touring" agreement. "Definitely some big time lawsuits and suing and litigations and all sorts of stuff would be going on, but it won't happen with me, because I'm done," he said.MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx in January said that that it's unlikely that the band will release another full-length album of new material and will instead make select tracks available via special projects in order to maximize their impact. He told the Rapid City, South Dakota radio station 95.1 KSKY: "We have music written, [but] it's not put together yet," Sixx replied. He added: "It's hard, to be honest with you, to spend six [or] nine months to write eleven songs all those lyrics
everything
the vocals, the guitars, the bass, the sonics, the mixing, the mastering, the artwork
You put it out and nothing [happens], because now people cherry-pick songs. So we go, 'Why don't we write songs and find vehicles to get one, two or four songs to ten million people rather than eleven songs to a hundred thousand people. That's how we're thinking. I don't know if it's right or wrong, but that's how we're thinking."MÖTLEY CRÜE in 2012 released a brand new song called "Sex" to coincide with the launch of the band's North American co-headlining tour with KISS.Written when the group was together during their residency in Las Vegas in February 2012, "Sex" was the first studio track from the CRÜE since their June 2008 release of "Saints Of Los Angeles". The song was recorded at MÖTLEY CRÜE drummer Tommy Lee's studio called The Atrium in Calabasas, California.
