RELATED: Eight Inaccurate Things From Mötley Crüe’s Netflix Movie ‘The Dirt’ Prior to this "final tour," the band had allegedly signed a “cessation of touring agreement.” This was a binding document that would prohibit the band members from ever playing again once the tour ended. The band members talk more about how they were able to overcome this legally-binding contract. How Mötley Crüe got out of their contract Def Leppard / J. Diffner Mötley Crüe bassist, Nikki Sixx, talks to Rolling Stone backstage in 2014. “Legally, we can’t play again. The only loophole is if all four band members agreed to do it, we could override our own contract. But we know that will never happen. There are people in this band who will refuse to ever do it again, and you’re talking to one of them. There is no amount of money that would ever make me do it again because I have such pride in how we’re ending it.” Sixx continues, “If anybody ever — and I don’t believe anybody ever would — would call any other band members and say, ‘Hey, it’s been 10 years, let’s just do 10 shows. A million a pop,’ it could never happen unless all four band members agreed. And if we did agree, the way we’ve set it up — including this conversation right now — we’d have so much egg on our face. We have so much pride that that alone would stop it.” Poison / Ultimate Classic Rock Well, it looks like Nikki Sixx is eating his words, because they're back!
