In the 1990s, Mötley Crüe was perhaps better known for the women married by three of its members. Both Lee and Sixx married former Playboy Playmates and stars on the TV show Baywatch, Lee to Pamela Anderson and Sixx to Donna D'Errico. Not to be outdone, Neil married former Playmate Heidi Mark. However, only Sixx' marriage has endured the test of time.
In 1999, Lee left to pursue a solo career, and was replaced by Randy Castillo, the drummer on several Ozzy Osbourne albums. Castillo died of cancer on March 26, 2002. No replacement has been named, as the band went on hiatus following a 2001 tour in support of their most recent studio release, New Tattoo.
In recent years, Sixx has played in the bands 58 and Brides of Destruction, Lee in Methods of Mayhem and as a solo artist, and Neil tours on an annual basis as a solo artist, singing mostly Mötley Crüe songs. Mars reportedly suffers from a degenerative back condition, and has not performed since 2001.
A 2001 autobiography entitled The Dirt told their full story. In September 2004, Sixx announced that he and Neil had returned to the studio and begun recording new material, and said that fans of Mötley Crüe could expect a farewell tour by the band in either 2005 or 2006.
Mötley Crüe are perhaps the best-known users of the heavy metal umlaut.

Artist Biography - Motley Crue
With a gritty reputation that was arguably equaled only by Guns N' Roses, Mötley Crüe's infamous antics made them a force to be reckoned with in the '80s. As one of the first and most influential hair metal bands of the '80s, Mötley Crüe had a series of hit albums, the biggest and most noteworthy being 1989's Dr. Feelgood. The band continued to court controversy into the next decade, even when their recording career took a downturn through a series of well-publicized mishaps and run-ins with the law. Mötley Crüe's beginning can be traced back to 1981, when bassist Nikki Sixx (born Frank Ferrana) and drummer "Tommy Lee" Bass decided to leave the bands they were in at the time and pursue a new project together. Bob "Mick Mars" Deal was hired to play guitar and "Vince Neil" Wharton was added as vocalist. The band went through several name changes before Mars presented them with Mottley Krue, recalling a time when his previous band was described as a "motley looking crew." After agreeing on this name and altering the spelling somewhat, the newly formed group began to play at local clubs and soon became cult favorites, known for their unique stage theatrics.
Mötley Crüe is an American rock band whose members include Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee, Mick Mars, and Vince Neil. Mötley Crüe formed in 1980 (see 1981 in music) in Los Angeles, after bassist Nikki Sixx left the band London, (a band he and Lizzie Grey started in 1979 when he was fired from Blackie Lawless' band Sister). The band London would also be the first band for the later Guns N' Roses guitarists Izzy Stradlin and Slash and for Cinderella drummer Fred Coury)
Another member of London during the time Nikki was in the band was guitarist Greg Leon. Greg had also been in other bands before London. When Nikki Sixx left London to form a band of his own, he'd ask Greg Leon if he knew any musicians who could join the new band. Greg recommended the drummer of one his previous bands, Suite 19; its drummer... Tommy Lee.
They'd meet guitarist Mick Mars through an L.A. music newspaper classified ads section. Still without a name, they thought about using the name Christmas. quickly deciding against that idea though. Then... Mick Mars remembered a comment made by a bassist in one of his previous bands. The bassist walked in, looked at the others in the band and said, "What a motley looking crew!"
So they all decided on the name Mottley Krew, which was eventually spelled Motley Crue. Now all they needed was a vocalist. They'd find their singer almost accidentally. They were watching a band called Rock Candy perform. They were going to try to get their guitarist James Alverson into the band. During that show however, Mick Mars convinced them that they didn't need another guitarist. So, instead they decided to try to get Rock Candy's vocalist, Vince Neil.
Now the four original members were together. In November, 1981, their debut album Too Fast For Love was self-produced and released on Leathür Records. Their success in the Los Angeles club scene earned them a recording contract with Elektra Records in early 1982. The debut album was then remastered and re-released on August 20, 1982.
They soon became one of the most popular bands in the country, known as much for their hedonistic lifestyle and seemingly endless abuse of alcohol and drugs as for their music. Their mixture of metal and glam rock stylings produced several massive selling albums during the 1980s.
The band reached its peak popularity in 1989, with the release of their fifth album, Dr. Feelgood, released on September 23, 1989. On October 14 of that year, it became their only No. 1 album, and stayed on the charts for 109 weeks after its release.
Changing trends in music and the temporary departure of Neil from the band in February 1991 caused a decline in Mötley Crüe's commercial success, although a self-titled 1994 release with new front man John Corabi and 1997's Generation Swine, recorded after Neil returned, both reached the top 10.
