Motley Crue’s co-founding lead guitarist Mick Mars has some morbid topics on his mind lately.
During a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Mars predicted he would be gone from this world in eight years. When the time does come, Mars said of his remains, “I want them to take it into an airplane and drop it into the center of the Bermuda Triangle.”
The main reason for Mars’ request is because, “[he] want[s] people to be able to say, ‘Mick Mars is lost in the Bermuda Triangle.'”
The 72-year-old also said about his age, “”I’m old enough, man…I’m not going to live to be 85 or 90 — I just have a feeling. I don’t want to, either. My brain doesn’t want this ugly-ass body that’s all fucked up to keep going. I wish I could just take the information out of my brain [and] put it on a chip into somebody else or a robot. There’s still a lot of stuff going on up there.”
As of 2022, Mars is no longer touring with Motley Crue because of a longtime battle with Ankylosing spondylitis, a type of painful arthritis. John 5 has replaced the guitarist for their current 2023 World Tour.
