In other news, Gary Graff from Billboard.com is reporting:

After a successful two-year start-up, Mötley Crüe's Crüe Fest may take a year off in order to allow the band to record its next album.

"We have about a month left (of this year's Crüe Fest 2) and then we're going to be taking quite a bit of time off," Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx tells Billboard.com. "I feel like we're ending being out for quite a long time, touring and Saints Of Los Angeles and the Carnival Of Sins (tour) and Red, White & Crüe...really going away on a big high to start working on writing a new record and looking forward to the next Crüe Fest, which'll probably be in 2011."

As for the next Crüe album, the follow-up to 2008's Saints Of Los Angeles, Sixx says he's "been plugging along, writing" new material, and that bandmates Mick Mars and Tommy Lee have told him they have some ideas as well. All four members, including frontman Vince Neil, are also working on solo projects - Sixx with his Sixx:AM and Lee with a reconstituted Methods of Mayhem - but the bassist says those often yield music for the Crüe as well.

"Any time any of us are writing, that always comes up," says Sixx, who's also expanding his clothing line, Royal Underground, as well as the Eleven Seven record label. "I was actually working on something the other day for Sixx:AM and immediately was like, 'This is so Motley...' It's an interesting process; it can take anywhere from six months to a year, but the good news is there's no rush, y'know?"
