The ’50s was about the King of Rock – Elvis who literally rocked the nation. Enter the ’60s and The Beatles and The Rolling Stones brought a new experience to the public. The ’70s was about The Doors and the expansion of your mind and people experiencing The Jimi Hendrix Experience. But the ’70s was also about Glam Rock, which filtered into the ’80s which came with big shoulder pads, even bigger hair and lots of make-up – and we’re not just talking about the women of the ’80s. Glam rock was really big and everyone was crazy about the stars behind the microphones, guitars, pianos and drums. So what happened to these glam rockers? Well, you’re about to find out!

Mötley Crüe

Mötley Crüe was one of the biggest glam rock bands of the ’80. It consisted of Mick Mars (lead guitar), Tommy Lee (Drums), Nikki Sixx (keyboard), John Corabi (vocals and guitar) and Vince Neil (lead vocalist). They were known as a crazy young band who caused a lot of mischief, played around too much with the ladies and took in substances that were not exactly legal. Their music was huge and they were a good looking group with amazing outfits and makeup. Their biggest hits include Shout at the Devil, Looks That Kill and Wild Side. They recently released a movie on Netflix (2019) called The Dirt. Their final concert was on December 31st 2015. Tommy Lee had children with Pamela Anderson, Vince Neil played a tattoo artist on the CBS sitcom Still Standing and was in several reality shows. Nikki Six married and divorced Baywatch star Donna D’Errico, Mick Mars suffers from Ankylosing Spondylitis, an inflammatory condition which affects the joints of the spine, making life a painful existence for the body and John Corabi was fired by the band and appeared in other bands as guitarist.
