Mötley Crüe has called guitarist Mick Mars' lawsuit against the band 'unfortunate and completely off-base.'
called guitarist, the band responded to the suit, which was made public yesterday, and rebutted claims that they ousted him from the group and cut him out of profits.
“Mick’s lawsuit is unfortunate and completely off-base,” the band wrote in a statement. “In 2008, Mick voted for and signed an agreement in which he and every other band member agreed that ‘in no event shall any resigning shareholder be entitled to receive any monies attributable to live performances .’ After the last tour, Mick publicly resigned from Mötley Crüe.”
The lawsuit claims that Mars announced he could no longer tour with the group due to his ongoing battle with ankylosing spondylitis — a disease that causes vertebrae to fuse — but that he would still participate in residencies and concerts that don’t involve excessive travel. According to the suit, the group then decided to “fire” Mars via a shareholders’ meeting as an officer of Crüe’s corporation and six other related businesses.
Mars has asked a judge to allow him to inspect the band’s business records and to be awarded attorneys’ fees and other unspecified money. “Despite the fact that the band did not owe Mick anything — and with Mick owing the band millions in advances that he did not pay back — the band offered Mick a generous compensation package to honor his career with the band,” the band responded. “Manipulated by his manager and lawyer, Mick refused and chose to file this ugly public lawsuit.”
