Talking to Rolling Stone, Nikki Sixx says that he’s been trying to get MGK in the studio with him for his solo stuff “forever,” but their schedules didn’t link up until this project. Among the four new tracks on the album, the 18-song tracklist also includes cover of “Like A Virgin” by Madonna.

Mötley Crüe may have hit a rough patch back when they broke up, but the band is on good terms now – even wondering if they made the right choice by calling it quits… Even so, don’t expect to see them hit the stage together again. “Sometimes I look out at my friends, like the guys in Aerosmith and Metallica, and I’m like, ‘God damn it, did we retire too soon?’” Sixx says. “But there will be no one-offs in our future. Maybe we’ll just get together and jam in Mick Mars’ front room.”

Peter Frampton is ready to say goodbye to the road. The legendary guitarist has just announced dates for “Peter Frampton Finale—The Farewell Tour,” featuring Jason Bonham‘s Led Zeppelin Evening, Julian Frampton on West Coast dates, as well as “additional surprise guests” on select dates.As for why Frampton is calling it quits on the road, it’s because he’s been diagnosed with a rare degenerative muscular disease. He tells CBS This Morning Saturday he was diagnosed with inclusion body myositis three and a half years ago, which is an incurable condition that causes muscles to weaken slowly.

He says right now his fingers are okay, but notes, “in a year’s time, maybe not so good … I’m a perfectionist and I do not want to go out there and feel like, ‘Oh I can’t, this isn’t good.’ That would be a nightmare for me,” adding, “I’ve been playing guitar for 60 years. Started when I was eight and now I’m 68. So, I’ve had a very good run.”
