Mötley Crüe‘s Vince Neil Reveals He Suffered Four Strokes During Recovery
Las Vegas – Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil recently disclosed he endured a series of four strokes while undergoing physical therapy following an initial health scare, a revelation made as the band’s Las Vegas residency continues at Dolby Live at Park MGM. The singer, 63, initially attributed a feeling of being “off” to the flu earlier this year, but the underlying issue proved far more serious.
Neil’s health struggles unfolded ahead of the band’s return to the stage for “Mötley Crüe: The Las Vegas Residency,” raising concerns about his ability to perform. The residency launched earlier this month and has scheduled shows on September 26th and 27th,with additional performances on October 1st and 3rd. His disclosure highlights the extent of his recovery and the dedication required to return to the stage.
According to a recent interview with the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Neil experienced the strokes while engaged in intensive physical therapy in Nashville. Though his voice remained unaffected, he described the challenges of regaining motor control. “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 walk, but it doesn’t come out right,” Neil explained, adding he is now approximately 95 percent recovered to his pre-illness condition.
The singer initially downplayed his condition in a statement released earlier this year, but the subsequent strokes necessitated months of dedicated rehabilitation. Despite the ordeal, Neil has successfully rejoined Mötley Crüe for their ongoing residency, demonstrating a remarkable recovery and commitment to performing.
