Mick Mars countersued M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce<\/a> on Thursday and accused the band of forcing him to resign after he chose to stop touring.<\/p>\n

M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce previously claimed that when Mars announced that he couldn’t tour anymore, he was resigning from the band. However, Mars alleges that he told the band members that he could still play in a residency situation and could still record, according to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

The guitarist just could no longer “physically handle the rigor of the roads.”<\/p>\n

According to Mars, the band convened an emergency shareholders\u2019 meeting immediately after his touring announcement in an attempt to throw him out of the band.<\/p>\n

“It is beyond sad that, after 41 years together, a band would try to throw out a member who is unable to tour anymore because he has a debilitating disease,” his attorney said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “Mick has been pushed around for far too long in this band, and we are not going to let that continue.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, lawyers for M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce maintain<\/a> that Mars gave up his rights to any future earnings from tours after he quit, according to Variety.<\/p>\n

Nikki Sixx responded to the lawsuit on Twitter writing, “Sad day for us and we don\u2019t deserve this considering how many years we\u2019ve been propping him up \u2013 We still wish him the best and hope he find’s [sic] lawyers and managers who aren\u2019t damaging him. We love you Mick.”<\/p>\n

The back-and-forth between Mars and M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce began in October. Fans became confused due to differing statements. Marks announced that he was retiring from tour due to his arthritis while the band claimed that he was retiring from music completely.<\/p>\n

“Things get twisted around sometimes from other band members. I don\u2019t really know if I should say this, but . . . those guys have been hammering on me since \u201987, trying to replace me,” Mars told Variety. “They haven\u2019t been able to do that, because I\u2019m the guitar player. I helped form this band. It\u2019s my name I came up with [the M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce moniker], my ideas, my money that I had from a backer to start this band. It wouldn\u2019t have gone anywhere.”<\/p>\n

An attorney for the heavy metal band told the outlet that Mars was offered a “generous compensation package” after the announcement, but didn’t take it.<\/p>\n

“Retiring from touring is <\/i>resigning from the band,” Sasha Frid said in a statement. “The band\u2019s primary function is to tour and perform concerts. And as you saw from the amendment, if a shareholder resigns, he cannot receive any compensation from touring \u2013 which is what Mick is trying to get. It\u2019s clear-cut that Mick is not entitled to any more money.”<\/p>\n

Few heavy metal acts were as notorious in the 1980s onstage, as well as off, as M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce, whose songs include “Looks That Kill,” “Shout at the Devil” and “Girls, Girls, Girls.”<\/a> Fueled by drugs and booze, their stage show included excessive amounts of pyrotechnics and chain-sawing the head off a mannequin filled with blood.<\/p>\n

M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce were formed in 1981 by Sixx and Tommy Lee. The two were later joined by Mars and Vince Neil.<\/p>\n
