Mötley Crüe have denied using backing tracks on their summer 2022 tour. This news comes after their former guitarist Mick Mars previously accused them of using pre-recorded music as part of his lawsuit against the band.
The group had the following exchange with a fan on Facebook [via Sleaze Roxx]
Fan: “Saw the backing tracks tour last yr and paid dearly to see it. It’s a hard NO for me this time around…”
Mötley Crüe: “THIS IS THE SUMMER TOUR FOOTAGE FOR FUCKS SAKE. THERE WERE NO BACKING TRACKS FOR BAND MEMBERS – FUCKING CLOWN.”
As previously reported, Mars sued the band after claiming that he was asked to sign a severance agreement, which would drop his 25% stake in the band’s business interests to 5% for their 2023 shows and to 0% for future tours. The offer was then upped to 7.5% for 2023 if the guitarist agreed to divest himself from the band and their businesses. He also accused his bandmates of using pre-recorded tracks.
For their part, Mötley Crüe’s management claimed the allegations were part of “a smear campaign.” They also accused Mars’ representatives of “taking advantage of him” and commiting acts of “elder abuse.”
