Mötley Crüe Has Reportedly Sold Entire Catalogue for $150 Million

Mötley Crüe has just reportedly sold their full music catalog—from their 1981 Too Fast to Love through their 2008 Saints of Los Angeles—to BMG for approximately $150 million.

“It feels amazing to be collaborating with our new partners at BMG. Their extensive track record of success in Rock made them the perfect home to continue preserving and growing our musical legacy, ensuring we always stay at The Top,” Mötley Crüe said in a statement announcing the deal.

BMG CEO, Hartwig Masuch, also spoke on the news.

“This is more than just a significant transaction,” he said. “It’s a new chapter for an extraordinary catalog. Few bands understand the myth and the magic of Rock like Mötley Crüe do. In an increasingly competitive rights acquisition market, artists need to be convinced that a buyer will do the right thing with their work. I am delighted that Mötley Crüe have decided BMG will be the best custodians of their musical career.”

Following this big sale, Mötley Crüe will soon begin their postponed stadium tour with Def Leppard in 2022.
