Mötley Crüe Vince Neil – health woes

Mötley Crüe’s latest tour residency has been postponed – here we look at lead singer Vince Neil’s health woes

Back in 2022, band member Tommy Lee was forced to abandon the reunion tour after he broke his ribs.

At the time, he said: “I wish I had a bada** story like me and Conor McGregor scraping-out at some f**king bar or something, but I don’t,” he told the crowd.

Tommy lasted only five songs into the setlist before he was in pain and had to leave for the night.

However, it transpired that was five more than he should have played.

“The doctors told me ‘No playing’ and I was like are you f**king joking, bro? We got a tour to do,” Tommy told the crowd.

“But I ain’t sitting out for s**t. My boy, Tommy Clufetos (Black Sabbath’s drummer) is going to help me out here and I’ll see you guys later.

“Let’s get on with the godd**n show,” the drummer said as he walked off stage.

After playing the show, Tommy went into more depth in a lengthy Instagram post.

He stated again that he broke four ribs and that the doctors told him not to play, but he was “stubborn” and “wouldn’t listen.”

Back in 2021, Vince also fell off the stage and broke his ribs during another live show.

He was whisked away in an ambulance after the painful incident at the Monster on the Mountain festival in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.

He also had an incident on stage during his first solo show post pandemic.
