Mötley Crüe Misses Black Sabbath Farewell in Birmingham

Mötley Crüe did not perform at Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath’s 'Back to the Beginning' farewell show in Birmingham, England, due to ongoing health issues within the band, as explained by bassist Nikki Sixx. Sixx did not specify which band members were affected, but the earlier postponement of their Las Vegas residency for lead singer Vince Neil’s medical procedure likely contributed to their absence. The high-profile event featured major acts such as Metallica, Guns N' Roses, and Slayer. Sixx emphasized his focus on health and family, reflecting on his sobriety and prioritizing wellbeing. Despite their absence, Sixx publicly congratulated Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne for their influence on Mötley Crüe’s career. The band has recently collaborated with Dolly Parton on a new version of 'Home Sweet Home' to support charity.
