Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx has announced a surprising new direction for his career — and it has nothing to do with the band that made him a rock legend.
In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Sixx responded to a fan asking about his current projects. While many were hoping for an update related to Mötley Crüe, the rocker shared news that points to a different creative path.
“I’ve been developing programming around family entertainment. Always music related,” Sixx stated.
The timing of this revelation is noteworthy. Fans have been eagerly awaiting updates on potential Mötley Crüe tours or new releases. However, Sixx’s latest comments suggest that his immediate focus lies outside of the band and instead on expanding his footprint in the entertainment industry.
Although the announcement may come as a letdown to some die-hard fans, it highlights Sixx’s continued evolution as a creative force. He has long balanced his role in Mötley Crüe with other ventures, including writing, media appearances, and collaborations.
This family-focused programming marks a fresh chapter in his career — one that blends his passion for music with broader, more inclusive entertainment formats. Whether this move will delay or impact Mötley Crüe’s future activities remains to be seen.
