Guitarist Mick Mars, a former member of veteran hair-metal band Motley Crue has filled a lawsuit against his bandmates this week. The reason behind this action of Mick Mars is known to be Mars’s exit from the group following his separation from future activities and profit of the group.
The lawsuit was filed on 6th April, 2023 in Superior Court in Los Angeles County. Reports says that Mick Mars had a fall out with his bandmates after Mars’s announcement in last year October where he said that he will be retiring from touring, citing chronic pain from an inflammatory disease that affects the spine.
The remaining band members has responded to this by conveying an emergency shareholder’s meeting of Motley Crue’s main corporate entity to throw Mars out of the band, fire him as a director of the corporation and take away his shares. The lawsuit says Mara has a 25 percent stake in each of the band’s affiliated business entities.
Edwin F. McPherson, Mars’s lawyer said, “It is beyond sad that, after 41 years together, a band would try to throw out a member who is unable to tour anymore because he has a debilitating diseases.” “Mick has been pushed around for far too long in this band and we are not going to let that continue.”
The veteran hair-metal band was formed in the year 1981 in Los Angeles and in no time the group became a globally recognized group. Mixing glam rock theatrics, heavy metal riffs and radio friendly pop hook, they were fixtures on MTVin the 1980s and, by the decades’s end had topped the Billboard 200 chart with their 1989 album, “Dr. Feelgood.”
