It’s only been a few days since former Mötley Crüe guitarist Mick Mars won the first case in the legal feud between him and his former band, but Nikki Sixx appears unfazed by it. Instead, the bassist opted to spend some time at the Porsche Experience Center. In a recent Instagram post, he shared his day, highlighting the time spent at the experience center alongside his instructor:
“Had an amazing day out at the Porsche Experience Center Pecla. My instructor Johnny Kanavas ran through some brilliant driving skills and how to get the most out of these cars. It’s not often I get to completely floor it in a GT3. Massive thank you to Michele and Johnny for your hospitality!”
Mick Mars initiated a lawsuit on April 6, 2023, aiming to analyze the records of seven businesses affiliated with Mötley Crüe. In the lawsuit, Mars contended that the band tried to terminate his association with these businesses, which would also entail stripping him of his 25% ownership stake in the band.
Despite the band allegedly offering him 5% of their ongoing tour, excluding him, a later adjustment increased the offer to 7.5%. The legal action asserts that Sixx ‘gaslighted’ Mars regarding his guitar skills and claimed that Mars was the only member fully performing on his instrument during the band’s 2022 tour.
In response, Mötley Crüe’s attorney, Sasha Frid, stated that Mars had ‘publicly resigned,’ emphasizing that the band owed him nothing.
