Accompanied by five highly successful singles that were popular on radio and MTV, the Dr. Feelgood World Tour has seen MÖTLEY CRÜE on the road and in the air on their private jet for over 2 years.

The first single “Dr. Feelgood”, with its memorable opening, catchy chorus and gritty music video, kicked things off by reaching the top 10 of the US Hot 100 singles chart.

Having reached the Top 30 upon release, “Kickstart My Heart” has become MÖTLEY CRÜE’s most popular signature song. From the chainsaw intro to the music video shot at Hollywood’s famous Whiskey-a-go-go, the song has logged over 1.5 billion streams and can be heard almost every day in movies, commercials, video games and sporting events around the world!

The Hot 100 hits didn’t stop: “Without You” peaked at No. 8, “Don’t Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)” peaked at No. 19, and the final single “Same Ol’ Situation ( SOS)”.

The Dr. Feelgood World Tour kicked off in Moscow Music Peace Festival in Russia and by the time the tour concluded in late 1990, the band had played more than 100 concerts in front of over 2 million spectators.

Hailing from Los Angeles, California, Mötley Crüe have been on the rock scene for over 40 years. The band has sold over 100 million albums worldwide, achieved 7 platinum and multi-platinum albums in the United States, 22 mainstream rock Top 40 hits, 6 Top 20 pop singles, 3 GRAMMY nominations, 5 New York Times bestselling books, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and a hit movie on Netflix.

Mötley Crüe remain a major global draw after a 43-year career and concluded a global stadium tour in late 2023. In 2024 they signed with Big Machine Records and released the single “Dogs of War”.
