Vince Neil Says Motley Crue Is Ending, Not Breaking Up

There are only four months left in the life of Motley Crue, well, sort of but it is only the end, not … the end.

When the members of the band came together in January of 2014 to announce their retirement, the took the stage with tombstones in front carrying each of their names. The members also signed a contract stating that the band will end after the last show of their final tour.

That final show comes on New Year’s Eve at the Staples Center in Los Angeles and, as the date nears, Vince Neil says there is a lot of emotion.

Neil talked to the Oakland Press, telling them “Saying goodbye in Tokyo after a couple nights there, it was like, ‘Wow, I’m never gonna be back on this stage doing this with Motley again. There’s a finality there. Or Madison Square Garden; I got a little choked up because I know I’m not gonna play Madison Square Garden with Motley Crue again.”

He did confirm, though, that New Year’s Eve is in fact the end, at least for now. “This is it. This is gonna be a big year, ending it with three days at the Staples Center, and saying goodbye on New Year’s. That’ll be it. We wanted to go out on top, and we’re doing that.”

It won’t, though, be the true end of the band. They plan on releasing a CD and video of the final shows next year and have the possibility of other projects. “We’ve never said we were breaking up; we just said we’re not touring anymore. We’re gonna be definitely making more music together for different projects and stuff. But right now we’re really just focused on doing these shows this year and finishing with a bang.”
