Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx took to social media explaining why the band will not be allowing fans backstage on the upcoming “Stadium Tour” for “meet & greets.”
Sixx tweeted to fans, “It’s been exhausting trying to explain to people why we can’t have guests backstage. Our fans have waited almost 3 years for this tour. If one of us got Covid and had to cancel the show can you imagine the disappointment? We’re not here to take f***ing selfies. This is for the fans.”
“The Stadium Tour” — featuring the Crue, co-headliners Def Leppard, along with Poison, and Joan Jett & The Blackhearts — kicks off on June 16th at Atlanta’s SunTrust Park. The 25-city trek will wrap on September 9th at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium.
