Motley Crue guitarist Mick Mars suing band for ‘gaslighting,’ trying to oust him from 25% stake

Mick Mars, lead guitarist of Motley Crue for 41 years, is suing the Grammy Award-nominated heavy metal band for trying to “gaslight” and oust him from the business.

Legal documents were filed Thursday in Los Angeles County’s Superior Court by Mars’ attorney alleging band members withheld information about businesses in which he has a 25% ownership share.

In the lawsuit, Mars — whose real name is Robert Alan Deal – says Motley Crue ordered him to sign a severance agreement that would strip him of his sizable stake, in exchange for a 5% stake in a 2023 tour he’s not performing in, Variety reported.
