Mötley Crüe will wrap up their second Las Vegas residency at the Hard Rock Hotel’s Joint this weekend. The L.A. quartet’s plans after that are up in the air, but the end is nigh for the group. Frontman Vince Neil said over the summer that the band was planning a farewell tour next year. Nikki Sixx confirms that while the timing is not set in stone, the band will at some point in the future set out for one last jaunt around the world as "brothers." As the group gets set to put Vegas behind them, Sixx spoke to Rolling Stone about his vision for the finale of Crüe, the importance of pyrotechnics and interviewing Paul McCartney for his radio show, Sixx Sense.

Some have had bad experiences, some are open to it, some understand that everything we do is safe for the audience. The only people that would actually be in danger are band members if they stepped into the wrong place, but we kind of know where we’re supposed to be most of the time. So when you’re in one city, you’re able to go work the show out and be consistent every single night. That’s the great part of it. Are there individual elements of the show you’d like to take forward on the next tour? One of the…

Many of these characters’ real personas are eventually revealed, because-- in reality--one is not capable of choosing what identity to put on and has…
