Metal Sludge — As many of our readers have recently read on Metal Sludge back on October 7th, there has been a rumor circulating in the industry that John 5 will be replacing Mick Mars in Motley Crue.

Metal Sludge had collectively heard this rumor from 3 different industry sources before we reported it, and 1 of those was in fact Jason Green, who we have been given his all clear to name him as 1 of our sources.

With that, Green has come out on a recent episode of his Waste Some Time with Jason Green podcast and stated: “A lot of people are tuning in right now for the hot ahh, rumor… story, I am not saying it’s a rumor, I am reporting it as fact. That John 5 will be joining Motley Crue for their up coming Foreign tour.’

Green also added that he feels that Motley Crue will be making an announcement at some point and that Mick Mars who is 71 years old just might be to frail with his health condition to do another long big tour.

Motley Crue are slated to continue their The Stadium Tour with Def Leppard throughout Europe in the summer of 2023 and have also talked about dates into 2024 back in the U.S. along with a Las Vegas residency.

Currently John 5 is doing some select dates where he has also added a Motley Crue cover or 2 into his live set including as recent as late August.

Below is a video of the guitarist playing “Kickstart My Heart” live at El Corazon in Seattle Washington on August 31, 2022.

Green also spends some time in this episode telling his listeners and followers about his recent health scare with cancer, which resulted in him having a surgery earlier in the week.

As of press time, the surgery seemed to have gone as planned and Green is currently recovering in his home in Las Vegas.

Green took to his official Facebook on Tuesday (Oct. 11th 2022) and shared the following: “Thank you to everyone who sent well wishes & prayers for my surgery today… the cancer is gone & I wasn’t dramatic at all.”

Green checked in with Metal Sludge and seemed to be in good spirits but isn’t thrilled about having to wear a face bandage for a period following his recent surgery.

Watch the entire episode of Waste Some Time with Jason Green shared below.

Metal Sludge wish Jason a quick and full recovery.
