Motley Crue postpone Las Vegas residency due to singer Vince Neil’s health

A huge 80s rock band has been forced to postpone a series of shows just days before hitting the stage after their frontman dropped a surgery bombshell.

Motley Crue fans will have to wait another six months before they can jam out with their hard-rock heroes.

The Grammy-nominated band announced on social media that its Las Vegas residency, set to begin on March 28, has been postponed until September due to lead singer Vince Neil’s health.

According to the post, Neil will undergo a “required medical procedure recently advised” by the vocalist’s doctors.

However, the specifics of Neil’s condition were not disclosed in the announcement.

“To all the Crueheads who were looking forward to see us this Spring, I’m truly sorry,” Neil said in a statement.

“My health is my top priority so I can bring you the awesome shows you deserve, and I can’t wait to return to the stage.

“Thank you for all the well wishes that keep reaching me. Your support means more than you know.”

Neil’s bandmates Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee and John 5 wished the singer a “speedy recovery.”

“We are looking forward for him to get well again and to take over Vegas together in September,” the musicians said in a joint statement.

“We can’t wait to see you all out there, and thank you for your understanding and support in the meantime.”

Last month, a private jet owned by the “Dr. Feel-good” singer was involved in a fatal crash at Scottsdale Airport in Arizona.

Authorities confirmed one person was killed and three others injured when the plane’s landing gear failed, causing it to veer off the runway and collide with a larger jet. Among the injured was Neil’s girlfriend, 43-year-old Rain Hannah Andreani.

The collision killed pilot Joie Vitosky, 78.

“I honestly, wholeheartedly believe that the reason those other passengers are alive – it’s because of how he handled it,” Andreani said at the time.

Motley Crue’s Vegas residency, scheduled for Dolby Live at Park MGM, was announced in October 2024. The 11-show series was originally set to run from March 28 to April 19.
