In a brand new interview with the Calgary Herald, MÖTLEY CRÜE singerVince Neil was asked about bassist Nikki Sixx's recent statement that the final chapter for the band could come as early as 2016, after the film version of MÖTLEY CRÜE's biography, "The Dirt: Confessions Of The World's Most Notorious Rock Band", gets completed, an accompanying album is released and yet one more tour around the globe.

"Yeah, that's what it's looking like, yeah," Neil confirmed. "The movie will come out, we'll have an album to come out with the movie, and then do another world tour and then probably just call it quits. And just kind of move on. Yeah, I guess it is what it is."

Regarding what he will do once the CRÜE calls it a day, Neil said: "Ofcourse I'll miss playing with MÖTLEY, but I'm not gonna just stop being a rock 'n' roll guy. This is what I do and I love being onstage. I tried to stop — a long time ago I took a year off and it drove me crazy. I really missed being onstage and stuff like that, so I'll definitely continue on. But who knows? Who knows, the future is — five, six, seven, ten years later — who knows what's going to happen? In my mind, it's never say never, so we'll just see what happens."

It was reported in 2008 that MÖTLEY CRÜE was trying to extricate itself from a deal with MTV Films, a division of Paramount Pictures, to make the "The Dirt" movie.

A deal was first announced for the film version in 2006 but has since gone nowhere. Bassist Nikki Sixx told Reuters that MTV was "a channel that used to be hip and has now actually become unhip...They are not the right partner."

Asked about the current status of "The Dirt" movie, Neil told the Calgary Herald: "I have really no idea, I kind of stay out of that. I really don't know. I just can't tell you anything."

He continued: "I'm kind of tired like most people, tired about talking about it. . . . I just don't know anything about it. If it comes out, great, if it doesn't come out, I really don't care."

Vince Neil: ‘It’s Time’ for Motley Crue to Say Goodbye

Motley Crue‘s end is in sight. The group started publicly talking about hanging up their guitars for good early last month with Nikki Sixx providing come recent clarification on the group’s decision to call it a day. Now, in a new interview, Vince Neil confirms what many of us already know.

“It’s time, that’s really it,” Vince told the Toronto Sun. “Do you want to go out on top rather than fading away? And that’s it. You know, I’ll continue to sing Motley with my solo band and put out solo records and stuff and Nikki’s got his radio show and [drummer] Tommy [Lee] wants to be a deejay, and so we’ll see what happens.”

Neil’s recent interview doesn’t necessarily share any shocking revelations but he is frank about the reasons why he believes it’s time to quit. With more than 80 million records sold over the course of their career, Neil admits it will be a long goodbye of sorts. He says the group hopes to release a new record next year and will then spend the bulk of 2014 and 2015 on the road.

“We’re going to put out some new music next year and then it’s our farewell tour — we’ll do the world one more time and then call it a day. Our farewell tour (will be like) 2014 or ’15. Tours last about two years. So to finish the world, you’ve got to do the U.S., Canada, Europe, Asia…it takes some time.”
