Memorial began a residence in Las Vegas Friday night to start in March last year and the singer Vince Neil Have now revealed the cause of the six -month delay: he got a debilitating stroke last Christmas and has since been forced to learn to go again, even less rock again.
In one Interview with Las Vegas Review-Journal columnist John Katsilometes Neil was published on Friday and said he had the battle in his sleep on Christmas evening in 2024 and woke up the next morning and realized that “the whole left side went out.” Since then, the 64-year-old singer said: “I had to learn to go again, and it was tough. The doctors said they didn’t think I could go back on stage again. I go,” No, no, I’ll do it. See and see. ”
Motley Crue started what will now be a 10-show break at Dolby Live at Park MGM on Friday night, with concerts that will continue there through October 3.
When the settlement was opened first, which was postponed in the spring, the reason for a more vague – that Neil had to undergo “was a necessary medical procedure.” And even in the latest interviews given to promote residence’s resumption, other band members Cagey was about exactly what went down, before Neil himself released the cat out of the bag.
In one Interview with the Los Angeles Times Published Thursday, bassist Nikki Sixx Talked about Neil’s health problems and anxiety that the fans had raised after seeing the singer returning to the stage with a solo show in early August. Sixx did not specify that Neil had a stroke but was clear that it was a serious issue.
“He needed time to heal, and he has worked really hard,” Sixx told Times. You can say that he works up endurance, and many people are like, “oh, man, he does not kick ass that he used to,” but it takes a lot of courage to get a doctor to say that you will probably never go on stage again and to fight through it. If he has any incomplete moments here and there, they will be dissolved when they go with repetitions. “
Neil told Las Vegas magazine about doing physical therapy with the help of his girlfriend on his 30 acre big ranch for many months this year.
“I went from people who carried me to the bathroom, because I couldn’t walk myself, finally to a wheelchair,” the singer said. “I graduated with a hiker and then I had a sugar cane. Now I need nothing. But it is like a full -time job to get back to where you are doing well again … … it takes a while to get your brain to start moving your legs, for them to do what your brain wants to do. You try to go but it doesn’t get it right.”
Neil said he was “90-95% back to where I was before, and it will be good.”
Both of the above interviews-Neil are with Las Vegas Review Journal and Sixx with Los Angeles Times-Has also has their topics that deal with the band’s split with former guitarist Mick March 2022 and the tender feelings and moods that have come out of it. Among the Mars claims when he became public when he was fired was that the band had relied on recordings in concerts for several years.
“No, we never did it, ever,” Neil said in his interview, claiming that Mars “was the only one on tape, because he continued to fuck things, so we had him on tape. … When he started walking on some strange key, our sound guy just hit him and hit the band.”
Writes that when Neil returned to the stage with his solo band in Boston on August 2, some of the singer’s fans applauded “Neil’s long -awaited return”, while others in Crue Fandom “were worried about his relatively sluggish look in the videos from the show.” A subsequent solo play was canceled. With these factors in mind, clips from the Vegas opening are obviously reviewed strongly in Motley Crue Fan Forums.
“I will push through the best I can,” Neil told Las Vegas Paper of the Residency.
The group has a new compilation, “From the beginning”, which includes material from their debut album 1981 at UP through a new duet with Dolly Parton on the valuable “Home Sweet Home.”
