Back in May, Sixx reported in a social media post that some new songs that Mötley Crüe had recorded were “100% officially done and ready for mix.” We can only assume that these tracks will see the light of day sometime next year. The songs would be the first new material from the band since founding guitarist Mick Mars was replaced by John 5 in 2022.
As for the animation project, few details have been announced. However, People reported that Sixx will collaborate with The Lion King co-director Rob Minkoff on the production, confirming what the rocker teased in his recent post.
