MÖTLEY CRÜE To 'Take Quite A Bit Of Time Off' Following 'Crüe Fest 2'

August 10, 2009

MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx has confirmed to Billboard.com that the band will be "taking quite a bit of time off" following the completion of Crüe Fest 2, the sophomore outing of the band's summer festival tour. "I feel like we're ending being out for quite a long time, touring and 'Saints of Los Angeles' and the 'Carnival of Sins' (tour) and 'Red, White & Crüe'... really going away on a big high to start working on writing a new record and looking forward to the next Crüe Fest, which'll probably be in 2011," he said.

According to Sixx, there's a possibility that future Crüe Fests could even hit the road without MÖTLEY CRÜE on the bill.

"There have been offers and from suggestions of other bands that were interesting in going out and doing Crüe Fest if we didn't do it," Sixx said. "It's growing into something. It's more of a community than just about MÖTLEY CRÜE, which in the end is a really good feeling. There might be a day we don't do it, a year we're working on something else and somebody comes in and says 'We want to do it.' We've heard there's interest. It might be a bit young and premature to do that now, but it's nice to hear it."
