Amidst rampant rumors that a Mötley Crüe reunion was in the works the band members were eerily silent. While silence from Vince and even mystery man Mick Mars is fairly normal, Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee are usually quick to kill weird rumors that pop up in clickbait internet tabloids. So when they stayed quiet fans began to wonder if there was any truth to the rumors. Articles began popping up earlier this week claiming a source close to Tommy Lee had “leaked” the news that the band had been offered $150 million to reunite and tour again despite the 2015 cessation of touring contract the band signed. The contract would not permit any of the members (even all of them together) to tour under the name Mötley Crüe. Of course if all four members agreed, they could make the contract void. According to the rumors the bandmates were considering the offer, but only if Vince Neil went to rehab and lost 40lbs and, at Vince’s request, Tommy Lee also went to rehab.

But last night Vince broke the silence (and broke my heart) saying that not only was there no reunion tour in the works, but that he hadn’t even spoke to any of his band mates since The Dirt premiered last spring!

People these rumors are false. I haven’t spoken to any band member’s since movie premiere. I had to cancel shows due to back problems which I am getting treatment now. There is no tension between me and Tommy. Don’t believe anything from These so-called gossip sites. Keep Rocking

It’s super disappointing but we’re all happy to finally have some clarification. Of course For myself, I’ll still be praying for a “Back from the Dead” tour.
