Def Leppard – ‘Pour Some Sugar On Me’
We first caught wind of an impending Mötley Crüe tour announcement in December 2022 when Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx tweeted that 2023 would include “some more US shows-Latin America-Europe UK-Japan and Australia…”
Mötley Crüe’s current lineup includes Sixx and fellow founding members Vince Neil (vocals) and Tommy Lee (drums). Guitarist Mick Mars recently announced his retirement from touring due to health reasons. Heavy metal gun-for-hire John 5 has been filling his place.
As for Def Leppard, the Yorkshire rock outfit continues to revolve around the trio of vocalist Joe Elliott, bass player Rick Savage and drummer Rick Allen. Long-serving guitarists Phil Collen and Vivian Campbell also remain in place.
