Le tout fait suite à la rumeur de réunion de la tournée du groupe en 2020 avec Def Leppard et Poison. Tous les détails de cette possible tournée sont ici.
L’annonce officielle de la réunion de Mötley Crüe ne fait pas état de cette tournée, mais le dévoilement des dates et des villes visitées pourrait venir assez rapidement.
Dans sa lettre aux fans, Tommy Lee et sa bande parlent qu’ils ont rompu leur contrat de “cession de faire de la tournée” que tous les membres avaient signé en 2014. Le groupe avait alors fait une tournée de 2 ans qui était passée par Montebello, Montréal et Québec.
Mötley Crüe a parlé que cette réunion était en partie dû au film The Dirt paru sur Netflix plus tôt en 2019. Le film a ouvert le Crüe sur toute une nouvelle génération de fans.
La fin de l’année 2019 a été très bonne pour les réunions de groupes. My Chemical Romance, Rage Against The Machine et maintenant Mötley Crüe viennent de se réunir coup sur coup dans les dernières semaines.
Voici le message complet de MC pour annoncer sa réunion :
Réunion Mötley Crüe 2019
Los Angeles, CA, November 18, 2019:
Almost 6 years after signing a Cessation of Touring agreement, the contract is off the table because a whole new generation of Crüeheads are relentlessly demanding for the band to come back together. Following the huge success of their NETFLIX biopic THE DIRT, Mötley Crüe has seen a massive surge in new audience. And the band best known for breaking the rules has destroyed their cessation of touring contract in true Mötley Crüe-fashion, by literally blowing it up.
After 35 years together on stage, and 30 years since the release of Dr. Feelgood, the members of Mötley Crüe parted ways without speaking to each other after their Final Show on December 31, 2015.
Vince, Nikki, Mick and Tommy didn’t come together again until 2018 to participate in the making of THE DIRT movie, which unexpectedly brought them closer together again including seeing them head back into the recording studio after having gone in their own directions for several years. The fuse was lit.
“Since playing Tommy Lee in The Dirt, so many of my fans have said how they wish they could’ve seen the real Mötley Crüe play live,” said Colson Baker (aka Machine Gun Kelly) “I never thought I would see the day when this would become a reality. But the fans spoke and Mötley Crüe listened!”
THE DIRT currently enjoys an audience score of 95% on Rotten Tomatoes. And its massive global success earlier this year saw Mötley Crüe’s popularity rush to new highs, catapulting the band’s music back to the top of the worldwide charts with the younger 18-44 demographic now representing 64% of the band’s fanbase. Moreover, in the six months following the release of THE DIRT, Mötley Crüe has celebrated a meteoric rise of almost 350% increase in streams of their music across all streaming platforms. However, most of the new fans have never seen any of the legendary live shows that Crüeheads have relished for close to 4 decades.
