PROSPECT HEIGHTS — Mötley Crüe is coming home sweet home to Brooklyn.

The iconic hard rock band is set to play the Barclays Center as part of the second leg of their "Final Tour" that will span 34 cities.

The show is the band's biggest and most elaborate production featuring bassist Nikki Sixx’s flame-throwing bass and a drum solo performed by Tommy Lee as he flies out over the audience on a mobile riser.

The band came of age in the 1980s with hits like "Home Sweet Home," "Girls Girls Girls," "Dr. Feelgood," and "Shout at the Devil."

Sixx and Lee, with guitarist Mick Mars and vocalist Vince Neil, from Los Angeles, Calif., were known for their over-the-top rock n' roll lifestyles and became one of the best-selling bands of all time.

The band announced their 2015 dates on Tuesday, including Aug. 12 in Brooklyn, after selling out 72 cities in the 2014 leg of the Final Tour.

"In some of the cities, we could only reach a fraction of the fans who wanted to come see us play last year because of ticket demand so we’re coming back to those places to bring them our full production including the Crüecifly drum coaster, as well as all pyro and every other bell and whistle," Nikki Sixx said in a statement.

They will be joined by guest Alice Cooper known for "I'm Eighteen," "No More Mr Nice Guy," School's Out," "Elected," and "Poison."

Mötley Crüe also released their new and final single “All Bad Things” Tuesday morning.

Tickets for the "Final Tour" at Barclays Center go on sale on Jan. 23 and cost from $39.50 to $149.50.
