Mötley Crüe is an American heavy metal band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1981. The band was founded by bass guitarist Nikki Sixx and drummer Tommy Lee, who were later joined by lead guitarist Mick Mars and lead singer Vince Neil. Mötley Crüe has sold more than 100 million copies worldwide,[1] including 25 million in the US.[2]

The band members have often been noted for their hard-living lifestyles; all members have had numerous brushes with the law, have spent time in jail and have suffered long addictions to alcohol and drugs. Their ninth studio album entitled Saints of Los Angeles was released on June 24, 2008. The band announced their retirement in 2013 and played what was planned to be their final concert on December 31, 2015.[3] In 2019, the band officially reunited.[4]
