Motley Crue are to have an official day named after them by the City of Los Angeles’ mayor’s office.

From now onwards, today – July 31st – will be known as Motley Crue Saints of Los Angeles Day, in honour of their new album of the same name.

The band will attend a presentation ceremony at Guitar Centre in Los Angeles later, where they'll also launch a new initiative for rock fans.

The ceremony will begin on Sunset Boulevard at 12pm (PST).

Gigwise recently caught the band on the opening night of their Cruefest tour. You can see pictures below or full highlights here.
