John 5 Raises Concerns Over Nikki Sixx’s Health Issues in Mötley Crüe

John 5 recently posted a video on Instagram showcasing his hydration therapy session, which sparked concern among fans after Nikki Sixx revealed health issues within Mötley Crüe. The guitarist maintained a casual and light-hearted tone in his caption, where he mentioned getting therapy from Elevate Health Group and encouraged everyone to have a great Sunday while staying weird.

This social media post from John 5 comes in the wake of Nikki Sixx’s previous statement regarding health problems within the band. Sixx had mentioned that there have been ongoing health issues affecting Mötley Crüe, hinting at potential health concerns involving band members. The timing of John 5’s post after Sixx’s reveal has led to speculation that more than one member of the band may be facing health challenges.

The band’s health struggles have had a noticeable impact on Mötley Crüe’s schedule and commitments, beyond their absence from Ozzy Osbourne’s final concert. Following Vince Neil’s undisclosed medical procedure, Mötley Crüe had to postpone their Las Vegas residency originally planned for March 2025. The band made it a priority to ensure Neil had enough time to recover before rescheduling the event to kick off in September 2025 at Park MGM’s Dolby Live.

In addition to the Vegas residency delay, Mötley Crüe also had to pull out of their headlining slot at the Boardwalk Rock festival due to health reasons. These cancellations have highlighted the challenges the band is facing in fulfilling performance obligations because of health issues. Despite missing out on Ozzy’s farewell show, Sixx expressed gratitude for the band’s longstanding relationship with the legendary musician and his wife, Sharon Osbourne, who provided Mötley Crüe with a significant opportunity on the 1984 ‘Shout at the Devil’ tour.

The continuous interruptions in the band’s schedule due to health concerns have sparked concerns among fans about the future of Mötley Crüe. The decision to prioritize member health over performance obligations underscores the reality for aging rock stars like Mötley Crüe, who must navigate managing their physical well-being while sustaining their musical careers. The band’s commitment to ensuring their members are in good health is paramount, highlighting the challenges of aging musicians in a demanding industry.
