Mötley Crüe is currently on "The Final Tour" which culminates New Year's Eve in Los Angeles, CA at Staples Center. Vocalist Vince Neil was recently interviewed by Greg Prato of Long Island Pulse about this last leg of shows - ever; an excerpt follows:

“We started talking about it… I remember we were in Japan. It had to be at least five years ago. We started setting it up back then, so it’s been a while. It’s not something that we said, ‘Eh… let this be our last tour.’ We did a couple more tours, and then we decided 35 years sounds like a good number to end with.” And the tour - which also features veteran shock rocker Alice Cooper on the bill - has been doing great business, ever since it launched in July 2014. But when asked if the tour’s success will make it hard for the band to stick with their plan, Neil said: “No, because all of our tours have been successful. We put together the biggest tour we’ve ever done for the last tour, and it would be hard for us to go out and top what we’re doing now.”

That said, fans can look forward to possibly new music from the Crüe. “The band’s not breaking up. We’re just not going to tour anymore. We’ll probably come out with some music for different projects and things like that, but we just won’t be together on stage performing the songs.”

Once the clock strikes 2016 and Mötley Crüe ceases to be a touring act, it sounds like Neil will continue rocking and rolling as a solo artist - amidst non-music endeavors. “When Mötley doesn’t tour, I go out and play with my solo band - so that’s never really stopped. The only thing is now I’ll have time to put out some new music, make a new album with the guys. I have my arena football team here in Las Vegas [Las Vegas Outlaws], a bunch of restaurants. So, I have a lot of stuff to look forward to.”
