JOHN 5 Plays Along With MÖTLEY CRÜE's "Too Fast For Love" (Video)

Mötley Crüe recently issued the following statement in regards to the announcement that  guitarist Mick Mars will no longer tour with the band, but will continue as a member.

"While change is never easy, we accept Mick's decision to retire from the band due to the challenges with his health. We have watched Mick manage his Ankylosing Spondylitis for decades and he has always managed it with utmost courage and grace.

To say "enough is enough" is the ultimate act of courage. Mick's sound helped define Mötley Crüe from the minute he plugged in his guitar at our very first rehearsal together. The rest, as they say, is history. We'll continue to honor his musical legacy.

We will carry out Mick's wish and continue to tour the world as planned in 2023. No doubt will it take an absolutely outstanding musician to fill Mick's shoes so we are grateful that our good friend, John 5 has agreed to come on board and join us moving forward. We'll see all you Crüeheads out on the road!" - Vince, Tommy & Nikki

Says John 5 - "I'm honored to carry on Mick's legacy and am looking forward to playing these songs.”

John 5 has since uploaded footage of himself playing Mötley Crüe's "Too Fast For Love" in celebration of the album's 41st Anniversary on November 10th.
