It comes after a tough few months for the US rocker

A HUGE Eighties rock band has left fans devastated after cancelling a string of gigs just days before taking to the stage.

It comes as one band member requires a “medical procedure” – meaning the US residency will be pushed back seven months.

It comes as lead vocalist Vince Neil requires a ‘medical procedure’

Wild Side singers Mötley Crüe made their shock announcement in a post uploaded to Instagram – revealing it was lead vocalist Vince Neil‘s health that took priority.

The rock band – who previously announced their retirement before making a U-Turn, addressed their loyal fans in two statements.

In a candid message 64-year-old Vince, who joined Mötley Crüe in 1981, wrote: “To all the Crüeheads who were looking forward to see us this Spring,

“I’m truly sorry. 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.

A joint statement from the band then read: “Please join us in wishing Vince a speedy recovery.

“We are looking forward for him to get well again and to take over Vegas together in September.”

The Live Wire singers were due to take to the stage at Park MGM in Las Vegas between March 28 and April 19.

Their shows will now kick off on September 12 instead, running through until September 27.

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.
