Mick Mars Retires From Touring With Mötley Crüe
Mick Mars, the lead guitarist and founding member of Mötley Crüe, has retired from touring with the band.
However, Mars, whose real name is Robert Deal, will continue as a member of the heavy metal group, a rep for the 71-year-old musician told Variety.
“Mick Mars, co-founder and lead guitarist of the heavy metal band Mötley Crüe for the past 41 years, has announced today that due to his ongoing painful struggle with Ankylosing Spondylitis (A.S.), he will no longer be able to tour with the band,” read the statement, provided by the rep. “Mick will continue as a member of the band, but can no longer handle the rigors of the road. A.S. is an extremely painful and crippling degenerative disease, which affects the spine.”
Mars’ replacement for the tour is John 5, the former guitarist for Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie, who recently concluded touring with Zombie.
