October 2022 - Mötley Crüe’s Mick Mars announces retirement from touring.
The 71-year-old guitarist announced that he is retiring from touring, citing his ongoing battle with the inflammatory disease ankylosing spondylitis, or AS.
The full statement reads:
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. 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.
We wish all the best to Mick in his battle with Ankylosing Spondylitis (A.S.).
