Mick Mars To Stop Touring
  • Motley Crue guitarist and founding member Mick Mars is retiring from touring.
  • A statement from Mars’ rep explained that although he will continue as a member, his health struggles will keep him from the road.
  • The statement said, “Due to his ongoing painful struggle with Ankylosing Spondylitis he will no longer be able to tour with the band.  Mick will continue as a member of the band but can no longer handle the rigors of the road.  A.S. is an extremely painful and crippling degenerative disease, which affects the spine.”
