The reunion comes after Motley Crue called it quits in 2015 following what they said was their final tour.

Neil posted a follow-up tweet where he confirmed that Motley Crue never broke up following the final tour.

"For those of you who don't understand, yes 'the boys' means Motley and we signed a contract not to tour anymore. We never broke up or said we would never make music again. Hope this clears it up," he said.
