Through his Twitter account , Nikki Sixx confirmed that Mötley Crüe plans to bring their current tour to South America as soon as the band finishes their North American dates.
Using social media, Sixx commented that he was sad to only have 10 shows left on the joint tour with Def Leppard , Poison , and Joan Jett . When asked about future plans, the bassist replied that Mötley Crüe is in talks to schedule dates in South America, Mexico, Europe, the United Kingdom, and Asia.
This information echoes an interview that Phil Collen of Def Leppard gave in June, where he stated that the band had plans to visit South America and try to bring the other acts along.
“We’re talking about it. Of course, I could say ‘Yes, let’s do it,’ but we have to ask them first. But I think Mötley Crüe offered, so I hope everyone accepts – Joan Jett and Poison. It would be amazing,” he commented.
Mötley Crüe on tour
The super tour with Mötley Crüe, Def Leppard, Poison, and Joan Jett & The Blackhearts kicked off on June 16th in Atlanta. On that occasion, Mötley Crüe surprised the audience by bringing Machine Gun Kelly on stage to perform the song "The Dirt (Est. 1981)" for the first time. Gun Kelly starred in the biopic The Dirt as Tommy Lee .
The band also faced some difficulties with their drummer, who had to be replaced on the very first day by Tommy Clufetos because he was suffering from pain after having broken ribs in a domestic accident. Clufetos remained supporting Tommy Lee throughout the tour, completing part of the drummer's set.
