Mötley Crüe to Release Cancelled EP October 4

Mötley Crüe is set to release their new EP, Cancelled, on October 4, featuring the Top 5 radio hit 'Dogs of War,' a cover of the Beastie Boys' 'Fight for Your Right,' and the title track. This marks their first release with Big Machine Label Group and includes contributions from guitarist John 5, who replaces Mick Mars. The band has been working 'Fight for Your Right' into their live performances and has expressed a tongue-in-cheek motivation for the title track, inspired by their resilience against cancellation. Critics have noted the irony in Crüe's choice to cover 'Fight for Your Right,' given the song's original satirical context, which they seem to have missed. The EP will be available in various formats, including a collectible 12” picture disc, while fans have already begun pre-orders. Mötley Crüe's last original music release was in 2019, after which they gained renewed popularity following their biopic, The Dirt.
