January 25, 2006

MÖTLEY CRÜE received the 2,301st star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame earlier today in conjunction with the 25th anniversary of the band's founding.

Band members Tommy Lee, Mick Mars, Vince Neil and Nikki Sixx attended the late-morning ceremony in front of the Musicians Institute.

"We're across the street from the Erotica Museum and Frederick‘s of Hollywood. This is a perfect place for us to be," bassist Sixx told an estimated 600 screaming fans.

Speaking to Launch, Sixx said the band is thrilled with the honor. "Listen, it's nice to be recognized for your work," he said. "We are from Hollywood. You know that's where we started. It's where we played our first gigs. In a sense it's kind of fitting. You know we fit in there with all the dead movie stars."

MÖTLEY CRÜE formed in 1981 and were part of the Hollywood rock scene of the time.

The group resume their Carnival Of Sins 2006 tour on February 10 in Columbus, Georgia, and are reportedly in talks for a co-headlining summer tour with AEROSMITH.

MÖTLEY CRÜE plan to begin recording a new studio album on May 1.
