Known for hits such as Kickstart My Heart, Dr. Feelgood and Girls, Girls, Girls, Mötley Crüe has sold more than 100 million albums worldwide, with seven of them going platinum or multi-platinum in the U.S.
The band also has 22 Top 40 mainstream rock hits, six Top 20 pop singles, three Grammy nominations, five New York Times best-selling books, a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame and a hit Netflix movie.
