After years of wearing as much makeup as Cher, Mötley Crüe is taking another page out of her book and has announced a farewell tour that will land at Xcel Energy Center on Nov. 15. Billed as the Final Tour, the outing will feature one of the band's heroes as an opening, Alice Cooper (who shows no signs of retiring). Tickets go on sale Saturday at 10 a.m. via Ticketmaster and the arena's box office for $20-$125.

Midwest fans hoping to get an early jump on the tour can also see it at Summerfest in Milwaukee on July 4.
