RollingStone.com's Steve Baltin reports:
MÖTLEY CRÜE's much ballyhooed Vegas residency this coming February only lasts three weeks, but bassist Nikki Sixx tells Rolling Stone it's just the start of what will be a crazy schedule for the band.
"This is the beginning of what will be the biggest probably four to five years of the band’s career," he says. "We’re negotiating with a couple of other extremely huge bands on doing a co-headline tour, something that’s never happened before. There's new music in the future."New music isn't the only project in the pipeline.
"The other thing to look at is the wheels are in motion for getting the Mötley Crüe movie made now," Sixx says. "We finally got everything in order the way it needs to be done, and that’s gonna happen."Read more at this location.
According to Robin Leach from the Las Vegas Sun, VINCE NEIL says he is seriously contemplating a split from Mötley Crüe after their run of concerts at the Joint in the Hard Rock Hotel from February 3rd - 19th.
“It’s not definite, but I am thinking seriously about it,” the Las Vegas resident said.
The news that Vince might be calling it quits comes on the heels of his 50th birthday this year, obtaining final divorce papers from his ex-wife Lia this past weekend and a long year of international touring with both Mötley Crüe and his solo band.
“This is all about me thinking about the second half of my life," Neil added, "thinking about my future, and that future might not include Mötley Crüe after Vegas. There are so many opportunities that are in front of me that I’m really excited about. I just don’t want to look back later in life and regret that I didn’t pursue them."
