A pair of Motley Crue members have reunited in the studio this week.
Bassist Nikki Sixx and drummer Tommy Lee confirmed their appearance via social media with an image of the two alongside producer Bob Rock; Lee also posted an Instagram video of himself playing drums in the studio.
None of the three musicians have revealed the purpose of the studio reunion, as fans and media speculate about the situation.
After an 18-month farewell tour, Motley Crue wrapped up their 35-year career at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on December 31, 2015; the event produced the concert film, “The End: Live In Los Angeles”, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Music Video Sales charts upon its release.
At a January 2014 press event announcing the trek, the group signed a formal Cessation Of Touring Agreement; effective at the end of 2015, the document means the members are legally unable to tour under their band name in the future.
Last fall, Motley Crue released an expanded 30th anniversary reissue of their 1987 album, “Girls, Girls, Girls”, featuring five unreleased tracks from the band’s fourth record, which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 on its way to US sales of more than 4 million copies, led by the US Top 15 hit title track.
