LOS ANGELES, Dec. 31 (UPI) — As Motley Crue prepared for their final show in Los Angeles, band member NIkki Sixx reminisced on the rock group’s 34-year career.
Speaking with Billboard, Sixx, says his current lifestyle is dramatically different than that of the raucous partygoer he once was. At 57 years old, he reveals he’s more into health and fitness instead.
“Sad to say I have coconut water, Monster energy drink, Diet Coke, Gatorade and some pretzels,” Sixx laughed, adding he’s become “the most boring tour rider on earth.”
“What’s funny is I have more weights in my room than I have drinks,” the bassist, now 14 years sober from drugs, continued. “I have weights, workout bands, stuff to do sit-ups and push-ups with — I’m more into health and fitness than I am into whatever the past was about.”
Motley Crue announced plans for its two-year-long final tour by signing a binding Cessation of Touring Agreement in January 2014, one year later announcing the location and date of their final show. “New Year’s Eve 2015 will mark the end of an era in rock history,” Live Nation regional president Rick Franks said at the time in a statement. “But there’s no doubt that Motley Crue’s music will influence generations of artists for year’s to come.”
Of his band’s last hurrah taking place New Year’s Eve at L.A.’s Staples Center, Sixx and the rest of Crue — including Mick Mars, Tommy Lee and Vince Neil — reportedly haven’t spoken much about their emotions surrounding the matter.
“I don’t know how we’re gonna feel,” he told the magazine. “We’ve been kind of dodging that question for two years and there’s no getting out of it. We’re pretty rough-and-tumble dudes, but even the toughest guy going in for his last fight is going to feel a pang in his heart…I just hope I don’t cry during ‘Shout at the Devil.”
