The infighting between Motley Crue members seems to have ended, as a lawsuit filed against drummer Tommy Lee and his manager Carl Stubner by singer Vince Neil, bassist Nikki Sixx and guitarist Mick Mars was settled last week.

The $20-million-plus U.S. suit was filed last June and accused Lee of focusing on his solo career to the detriment of the group, citing the Tommy Lee Goes To College reality television show and his involvement in Rockstar: Supernova as examples.

A two-page court document will reportedly be filed by May 31 to officially dismiss the lawsuit on "the successful completion of the undisclosed terms arrived at by the warring parties," according to the Motley Crue website.

The group are working on a new studio album, which Sixx seems quite psyched about.

"I fucking love this new Motley Crue album," Sixx recently wrote on his website. "Tommy's kickin ass, Vince sounds insane and Mars is shredding on guitars. It doesn't feel like one song is better or worse than any other."

In an earlier post, Sixx admitted that he's now more than just friends with Kat Von D, the heavily tattooed, 26-year-old star of the TLC reality television series, LA Ink.

Motley Crue's still-untitled album, which is being produced by James Michael (Lillix, The Exies), will be the band's first collection of entirely original material since 1997's Generation Swine. No track list or release date have been announced.
