During one of his trademark fan chat sessions on Twitter, Nikki Sixx tackled the topic of the SixxAm radio show and podcast, which has piqued the interest of many fans. With a notable buzz surrounding the potential revival of the show, Sixx addressed the enthusiastic fan base hoping for its return but revealed the constraints preventing him from committing to it at present.
Expressing his regret, Sixx cited his current inability to devote sufficient time to SixxAm amidst his other commitments, particularly with Motley Crüe, emphasizing his desire to prioritize family over additional professional endeavors. Acknowledging the challenges of touring, especially in balancing familial responsibilities, Sixx shed light on the evolving dynamics of his personal life.
“I am afraid there just isn’t enough time for me to commit to SixxAm these days. I loved what we did together but besides Motley I just don’t wanna be away from my family that much anymore.”
He also spoke about how touring is hard on the family and added:
“Touring is hard on the family and it’s getting harder and harder for me…”
Indeed, there’s a poignant reality that fans of rock music must come to terms with—the aging of their beloved musicians and the shifting priorities that accompany it. While memories of the youthful, carefree rock stars of yesteryears linger, the present-day reality for these artists often revolves around family and personal well-being, a natural progression that commands understanding and respect.
Amidst discussions about the band’s upcoming concerts, Sixx revealed that Mötley Crüe plans to embark on a limited tour, comprising only 20 shows this year. Eager to gauge fan interest and preferences, Sixx reached out to fans, soliciting their feedback on potential concert locations, indicating a positive reception and significant anticipation from the fan base.
Overall, the atmosphere among fans appears optimistic and supportive, with a palpable excitement surrounding the prospect of witnessing Mötley Crüe grace the stage once again. Despite the inevitable changes and challenges that come with time, the enduring enthusiasm of fans underscores the timeless appeal and enduring legacy of the band.
