The rumors have been going around and Tracii Guns, member of the L.A. Guns went to Facebook to post his opinion. “I have got a ton of messages about the rumor of Mick leaving MÖTLEY and what my opinion is if John 5 replaces him. First of all, it’s a rumor and who knows? But, if it’s time for Mick to tap out then that’s his business. John 5 in my opinion is a great choice if the rumor is true.”
Guns stated his opinion, and this had fans excited however John 5 has dismissed the rumor of him touring with CRÜE. According to source, “After a fan commented on an old photo of Mars and John 5 on the latter’s Instagram and asked whether the guitarist was going to join CRÜE on the road, to which John 5 replied, in a now deleted comment: ‘No, just a rumor.'”
