Huge 90s star makes surprise return to music – revealing new single and album
MÖTLEY CRÜE guitarist Mick Mars has made a surprise return to music.
The 90s star has revealed he’s releasing a new single and album after being “ousted” from the band amid a nasty fallout.
Loyal To The Lie will be out in February next year – as the lead single for his new album The Other Side Of Mars.
Mick Mars filed a lawsuit against Motley Crue in Los Angeles in April.
In the claim, Mick Mars says he “carried these b******s for years.”
The musician insists he was unfairly forced out of the band because he would no longer tour.
Mick Mars said he was retiring from touring – instead only participating in gigs on home turf.
He also accused his bandmate Nikki Sixx, in particular, spent years “gaslighting” him over his guitar performance.
He said earlier this year: “Things get twisted around sometimes from other band members. I don’t really know if I should say this, but… Those guys have been hammering on me since ’87, trying to replace me.
“They haven’t been able to do that, because I’m the guitar player.
“I helped form this band. It’s my name I came up with, my ideas, my money that I had from a backer to start this band.”
Motley Crue formed in 1981 with bassist Sixx and drummer Tommy Lee and guitarist/lead vocalist Greg Leon vefore Mick Mars joined at a later date.
Some of the band’s biggest hits include Home Sweet Home, Kickstart My Heart and Girls, Girls, Girls.
