Motley Crue up-date

Mick Mars has insisted his lifelong health battle has nothing to do with Motley Crue’s upcoming retirement. The guitarist has spent years suffered from ankylosing spondylitis, a condition that causes joints in the spine to fuse together. Last week singer Vince Neil said that was one of the reasons the band are planning to bow out after a farewell tour and a movie based on their celebrated book The Dirt. Neil reported: “Touring is tough on him.” But Mars tweets: “Any rumours regarding a farewell tour due to ‘my poor health’ are BS. I am doing fine. My AS has never kept me from touring and never will.”
