Mick Mars sues Motley Crue over touring dispute and alleged mistreatment.

Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx responded to guitarist Mick Mars' lawsuit, claiming that the band has been "propping him up" for years. Mars alleges that the band is trying to push him out and reduce his share of profits, while Sixx alleges that Mars is being manipulated by his lawyers. Mars suffers from a chronic form of arthritis and informed the band last year that he could no longer tour with them. The different members also have competing versions of events, with Mars claiming he was the only member to play completely live on their most recent tour.
