Son Erik Michael Deal born in August 1976 with ex-girlfriend Marcia Tucker

His son Les was named after the Les Paul guitars and daughter Stormy was named for the song "Stormy" by the Classics IV.

Attended grade school with actor Steve Martin.

At 19, Mars was diagnosed with ankylosing spondilytus, a degenerative bone disease which causes the spine to stiffen in between the vertibrae. As a result, Mars quotes he is three inches shorter than he was in high school.

Mick Mars has two children with ex-wife Sharon. Les Paul Deal (son, born in August 1971) and Stormy Lynn Deal (daughter, born in September 1973) are grown up now and Stormy has made Mars a grandfather three times over before he hit forty.
