Motley Crue has been having successful tours in the past years, and the band expects to have more in the next decade.
Following Motley Crue's successful stadium tour in 2022, the heavy metal band is on it again as it teams up with Def Leppard on its ongoing World Tour 2023.
Having four decades of career leaves some of their fans with questions about how long Motley Crue will continue performing. Its bassist, Nikki Sixx, shared what the band members have on their minds as of now.
In a new interview with Brazil's A Rádio Rock, Sixx hyped fans by saying that he wants them to keep going until at least 2031 - their 50th anniversary.
"Me and Tommy and Vince [Neil] had this conversation. I said, I go,' What are you guys doing for the next eight years?' And everybody's laughing: 'I don't know.' I said, 'Why don't we just keep going? Let's just take it to 50 [the special anniversary for the band would be in 2031],'" he said.
Although playing until 2031 remains uncertain, Sixx assured everyone that Motley Crue's current tour leg would not be their last. According to the bassist, they are still having a blast; thus, they do not have plans to stop yet.
Motley Crue wrapped up its South American tour on March 7 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The band will resume its tour in Sheffield, England, on May 22.
Motley Crue Continues Career With New Guitarist
On Feb. 10, Motley Crue performed for the first time without Mick Mars during a show in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Instead of Mars, guitarist John 5 officially became its new touring guitarist. He was the first one to appear on stage, hyping everyone as he started playing "Wild Side." His band members also offered support, with Tommy Lee praising him for sounding so beautiful.

John 5 stepped up after the Motley Crue guitarist announced his retirement from touring amid his battle with ankylosing spondylitis. Mars remains a member of the band despite his touring retirement.
Mars shared the saddening news in a statement to Variety seven weeks after his last concert with Motley Crue at Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium. He is currently struggling with a condition that affects his back by causing inflammation in the spine.
According to Versus Arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis causes the body to releases extra calcium around the bones, leading the back and neck to feel stiffer.
