It isn't uncommon for rock stars to tell audiences "we love you," but as Mötley Crüe played what were being billed as its last-ever shows in Japan, the affection seemed stronger than usual.
By giving up touring while they can still sell out major venues, Motley Crue are well aware that they're losing the opportunity to continue to ride the gravy train.
Last week, Vince Neil mentioned during an interview that Motley Crue's last-ever show will be on Dec. 31, 2015, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the city where it all started for them.
