Vince Neil sparks health concerns with struggling solo performance

Vince Neil is back on the stage — but his fans aren’t impressed.

Vince Neil is back on the stage — but his fans aren’t impressed.
The Mötley Crüe frontman, 64, who underwent a medical procedure earlier this year, has gone viral for his lackluster performance in Bethel, New York, last week.

Neil appeared low-energy and struggled getting through the Aug. 3 show with his solo band.

While singing Mötley Crüe’s 1987 hit “Girls, Girls, Girls,” Neil was seemingly continuing to read the lyrics off the teleprompter and wasn’t focused on the audience.

“He even looks like he doesn’t want to be there,” one fan wrote in the comments section of an Instagram video of Neil’s performance.

“My god. He’s reading the words from the stage,” another fan said.

“This breaks my heart. There’s something else going on with him now and you can see it in his eyes, like something neurological isn’t right,” said a different concerned fan.

LA Guns guitarist Tracii Guns also chimed in, writing, “My heart breaks for him on so many levels.”

The full footage of the 38-minute concert was uploaded on YouTube, where more fans expressed their uneasiness about Neil’s behavior.

“I believe the guy had a stroke. Seriously. That was his health concern. His mouth moves different; he can barely hang on to the mic stand,” one account stated.

“This is sad, out of being concerned for Vince. No need to kick somebody when they’re down. This is not good,” another fan said.

Someone else commented, “Wow….his timing and pitch are not even in the ballpark. Very sad.”

“Vince is not well,” another fan claimed. “Heard it could have been a stroke possibly. I know his singing hasn’t been great over the years, but this isn’t about his singing anymore. He needs to rest and get healthy for the long term. Sad to see him like this.”

The Post has reached out to Neil’s rep for comment.

The day after the Aug. 3 performance, Neil shared a picture with fellow musicians Stephen Pearcy and Bret Michaels, writing, “Great to be back on stage rocking out the last three nights with my brothers Stephen Pearcy ‘Ratt’ and @bretmichaelsofficial !! Thanks to all the fans that made it out. I hope to see you in Vegas this Fall!.”

Neil performed in Boston on Aug. 1 which marked his first live performance in nearly a year. According to The Sun, he told the crowd, “Hey, thank you, everybody. It’s good to be here. I haven’t been on stage since almost a year now. I had a medical thing that happened to me, and they said I wouldn’t be back on stage again.”

“I said, ‘F–k that, man,’” Neil added. “And I’m back, and I’m with you guys tonight. And I’m really proud to be here, man. Thank you so much.”

Mötley Crüe — which is currently made up of Neil, Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee and John 5 — delayed their Las Vegas residency earlier this year and canceled their show at the Boardwalk Rock Festival in April due to the frontman’s health.

In a statement in March, the band said that Neil was “recuperating after a required medical procedure advised by the doctors.”

In his own statement, Neil told fans: “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.”

The band also didn’t perform at the late Ozzy Osbourne’s farewell show in July because of “health issues.”
