"All Bad Things Must Come to an End," promises the band Motley Crue as it continues on what it dubs The Final Tour, with a stop at 7 p.m. today at Verizon Arena.
Alice Cooper will open the show.
Motley Crue began its two-year tour by signing a "Cessation of Touring Agreement" in January 2014, and will stop touring after Dec. 31, when the band plays in its Los Angeles hometown, where it began 34 years ago. Members are Vince Neil, vocals; Mick Mars, guitars; Nikki Sixx, bass; and Tommy Lee, drums.
Sixx and Lee founded the band, which has released nine albums between 1981 and 2008.
Alice Cooper (whose original name was Vincent Damon Furnier) was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2011, following hit singles "I'm Eighteen," "No More Mr. Nice Guy," "School's Out" and "Elected."
Cooper's band members are Nita Strauss, Tommy Henriksen and Ryan Roxie, all on guitars; Chuck Garric on bass; and Glen Sobel on drums.
Tickets are $147, $95.50, $74, $53 and $38, on sale at all Ticketmaster outlets.
