NIKKI SIXX: 'MÖTLEY CRÜE Has Not Signed Any Deals' - Feb. 11, 2008

Blabbermouth.net - White Plains, NY, USA - MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx has denied that the band has signed a $100-million-plus mega-deal with the giant Live Nation entertainment conglomerate.

"MÖTLEY CRÜE has not signed any deals," Nikki said in a statement. "Any information reported to the contrary is false and misleading."

The news of a supposed MÖTLEY CRÜE/Live Nation deal was reported earlier today by Robin Leach via his blog "Vegas Luxe Life with Robin Leach". The alleged deal was to cover three albums and three world tours, including no less than 169 concert dates as part of the first global journey.

"We'll actually have been together for 37 years by the time it comes to an end," singer Vince Neil was quoted as having told Leach.

Vince, who is scheduled go off next month on a solo tour of Canada, allegedly told Leach that the first of the three long world tours would start this July.

CRÜE is well into the creation of its new studio album, which will be titled "The Dirt" and based on the band's 2001 memoir of the same name. Bassist Nikki Sixx wrote in a new online update, "10 songs done for the new CRÜE album so far, I'm very proud of the songs. I think we're onto some of the better songs we've had in years...Time will tell, of course. A couple of song titles on the CRÜE album are called 'A Scar On Hollywood Boulevard' and 'The Saints Of Los Angeles'... The chemistry in the studio as we're writing is unbelievable."

Nikki Sixx will be featured on a new Fuse TV program called "Live through This" which documents music stars that have made a comeback. The show will air on Thursday, February 21 at 10 p.m.
