Motley Crue has announced that guitarist John 5 will replace Mick Mars in the band’s touring lineup.

“While change is never easy, we accept Mick’s decision to retire from the band due to the challenges with his health,” Motley Crue wrote in a statement. “No doubt will it take an absolutely outstanding musician to fill Mick’s shoes, so we are grateful that our good friend John 5 has agreed to come on board and join us moving forward.” Mars, a co-founding member who had been in the group for 41 years, recently announced he was retiring from touring “due to his ongoing painful struggle with Ankylosing Spondylitis.”
