Las Vegas Casinos and Music News: Vince Neil Reveals Secret Behind Mötley Residency Delay and Spheres First Latin Artist

Do you recall the medical procedure that singer Vince Neil had to undergo, causing Mötley Crüe to delay their highly anticipated residency at Park MGM? While many fans were looking forward to experiencing the electric energy of Las Vegas casinos through this show, the schedule had to shift from March to now. According to Neil, this delay was entirely due to his recovery from a stroke he suffered right after Christmas last year.

“My whole left side went out,” revealed the 64-year-old rocker in an interview with the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “I had to learn to walk again, which was pretty tough. The doctors doubted I would ever perform again. But I told them, ‘No way! Just watch me.’”

While Neil maintained his singing ability, he lost mobility for some time.

“I moved from people helping me to the bathroom, then graduated to using a wheelchair, before a walker, and eventually a cane. Now, I can do without anything. But it felt like a full-time job getting back to how I used to feel,” he said.

Neil has stated he’s approximately “90 to 95 percent” back to his previous self, sharing that he began jogging again. However, during his recent solo performance in Bethel, New York, on August 3, some fans raised concerns over his health, due to his appearance and the necessity of reading his own lyrics.

One fan expressed their worry on Instagram, writing, “This breaks my heart. There’s something else going on with him now, evident in his eyes—something neurologically seems off.”

This residency by the ’80s hair metal legends spans 10 shows, kicking off from today and running through to October 2 at Dolby Live at Park MGM, with tickets still available.
