MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx has posted the following message in his online diary:

"Three more shows and we get a four-day break. Then there’s just a month left on this tour. We've been touring, writing and recording over 16 months now. I can safely say we need a break. No complaints though, how lucky we are to be able to still do this after 25 years. But I feel like Ripped Van Winkle, ready for a mending and hibernation from the volume.

"Donna [Nikki's wife] will come out for Atlanta and we can have a moment away from the kids. Can't wait.

"I also wanted you guys to know that the company Dragonfly Clothing ripped me off and I chose to not go into litigation with them. It would have been a mess. They showed me how they hide there money in Lebanon and didn't pay taxes on a lot of there income. I know that unlike Vans, who is a public-held company this would have cost 100s of thousands of dollars and would have taken my eye off the more important things in life. So it works in their favor, but please know that buying anything with their name and my name together is not approved by me. It is disheartening to know there are still scumbags out there willing to take advantage of someone's hard work, but life is full of lessons and I'm sure there karma is gonna come down on them like a nuclear bomb. I know of many different companies and artists who have sued them. Most win, but it's so sticky. I was the fool, shame on me for trusting them. A lot of their employees and sales staff have left and contacted me to do a clothing line. More on that down the road.

"For now im sitting here in Charleston, WV waiting to go do what I do.

"The waiting is the hardest part."
