About JOHN 5:
In October 2022, it was announced that John 5 would be joining Mötley Crüe as their guitarist following the announcement that Mick Mars would be retiring. John 5 will be seen in 2023 with Mötley Crüe on THE WORLD TOUR with Def Leppard which will kick off with Latin American dates in February before moving on to Europe in the summer. John said of the news, “I’m honored to carry on Mick’s legacy and am looking forward to playing these songs.”
In 2015, following a series of web shows to celebrate the release of his solo album Careful With That Axe, John 5 decided to take his solo set on tour, and formed The Creatures band to support his live shows. Initially joined by long-term friend Rodger Carter on drums, the band continues touring to this day, and now work as a unit on 5’s solo albums, including Season Of The Witch, the live album It’s Alive, Invasion and 2021’s Sinner. The current line-up includes John 5, Ian Ross on bass and drummer Alejandro (Alex) Mercado.
John 5 has also contributed to the work of iconic artists such as Lynyrd Skynrd, Meatloaf, Ricky Martin and Rod Stewart, amongst many others. “I’m busy, constantly busy with work but I look at who I am in the studio with or sending music to and I think I don’t ever want it to stop.”
