Mötley Crüe Delayed Residency After Star Suffered a Stroke

“I had a stroke” said Vince Neil as he shares his recovery back to the stage

Mötley Crüe Frontman Vince Neil, 64, revealed he suffered a stroke the day after Christmas. Neil told the Las Vegas Review-Journal he went to bed feeling normal, but the stroke occurred in his sleep. “My whole left side went out,” said the musician. The unexpected health scare caused the band to delay Mötley Crüe’s original residency dates at Park MGM due to a “required medical procedure.” The show dates were moved from March and April to the upcoming shows on Sept. 12 through Oct.3. He explained to his fans, “I had to learn to walk again, and that was tough,” later sharing, “The doctors said they didn’t think I’d be able to go back on stage again... Watch and see.” He revealed the stroke led to him being immobilized in a wheelchair. He is now nearing the end of his recovery and has regained mobility in his legs, allowing him to not only walk but run again. “It’s been tough, but I’m back, I’m 90-, 95-percent to where I was before,” Neil said. After announcing the delay of their Las Vegas residency, Mötley Crüe announced that they are no longer able to perform at the Boardwalk Rock Festival in Ocean City, Maryland.
