"We never saw it coming that Mick wasn't going to be able to tour and was going to have to quit the band," said Sixx. "In the middle - not even the middle - of a huge tour, we had to ask ourselves, 'Do we want to let the fans down? Do we want to let Live Nation down? Do we want to let [tourmates] Def Leppard down? Do we want to let ourselves down because an original member of our band can't tour anymore? We had to have a deep, deep look into what we were going to do.", written by Chad for loudwire.com.
