Vince Neil, Sammy Hagar Planning 2014 Joint Tour

Motley Crue may be nearing their retirement, but that isn’t likely to stop Vince Neil from keeping the band’s music alive and kicking. In this spirit, the man himself has just revealed that he’s set to embark on a joint headlining tour with none other than Sammy Hagar next year.

Speaking to Vegas Rocks! magazine, Neil confirmed his plans for the tour:

“I have my own stuff. I have my solo band, and we have a lot of touring coming up. And actually, it looks like me and Sammy Hagar are gonna go out together for a long tour next year. I’ll be carrying the torch for Motley Crue when Motley Crue is done.”

Commenting on Tommy Lee’s explanation for the band’s imminent retirement, (FYI: He said it was ’cause guitarist Mick Mars wasn’t in the best of health) Neil added, “I don’t know why Tommy would say that. It really had nothing to do with Mick’s health. It was just because we all felt — at least me and Nikki [Sixx] and Mick — felt that it was just we didn’t wanna go out on the bottom. We didn’t wanna be one of those bands that start fading away. We’ve been on top for 32 years, and it’s great. And it’s just like, you know what? By the time we finish this tour, it’ll be 35 years of Motley Crue. So…that’s really kind of it.”

Neil even suggested that this may not actually be the end for the hair metal megastars:

“I could probably see us play way down the road,” admitted Neil. “A concert here or concert there, maybe — but we’re not, like, doing the Kiss farewell thing, where they have their fifth farewell tour.”

So, yeah, actual, useful details of the tour have yet to be revealed, but we can confirm that there’s a 90% chance of it happening in the new year. Keep those eyes glued here for updates.
