Mick Mars sues Mötley Crüe over touring profits and pre-recorded bass tracks.

Mick Mars, the co-founder and guitarist of Mötley Crüe, has filed a lawsuit against the band, alleging that they formed a campaign to kick him out of the group and remove him from his ownership in the band’s company after he retired from touring last year due to his debilitating disease. Mars claims that the other band members were deliberately holding out important information pertaining to the band’s other companies and his 25% ownership stake. The lawsuit also alleges that the band demanded he sign a severance agreement that would rid him of the other companies in exchange for a 5% stake in the 2023 “The World Tour” the band is currently on.
