IN the 80s he was a blur of peroxide blonde energy as he leapt around the stage singing hair metal's biggest hits.
Four decades on, it's understandable that Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil's vocals have lost some of their piercing edge, but concerned fans are worried for the rock legend, 64, after a recent performance.

Neil seemed to be struggling while performing the band's hit Girls, Girls, Girls at a solo show in Bethel, New York.
One person commented, "My god. He's reading the words from the stage."
Another said, "There's obviously something going on. Look at his face. I actually feel bad for the guy."
A third shared, "He even looks like he doesn't want to be there."

Sunset Strip contemporary Tracii Guns, of the L.A. Guns, even shared his worry, writing, "My heart breaks for him on so many levels."
Days earlier, Neil returned to the stage for the first time in almost a year after suffering with a medical issue.
He addressed his absence, having last performed in September, and insisted he was happy to be back.
He told the Boston 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.' And I'm back and I'm with you guys tonight. And I'm really proud to be here, man. Thank you so much.'
The Crüe - which is made up of Nikki Six, Tommy Lee, John 5 and Neil - previously cancelled a Las Vegas residency and festival appearance.

They will now play nine dates at the Dolby Live at Park MGM across September and October.
In April, a spokesman for the Boardwalk Rock festival said, "Vince Neil is recuperating after a required medical procedure recently advised by his doctors.
'Vince's health comes first, and we fully support him in prioritizing his recovery. Please join us in wishing him well."
The Crue were replaced by grunge veterans Alice In Chains.
It's been a tough year for Neil, who split from his partner of 15 years, Rain Hannah, amid allegations of infidelity.
TMZ reported in May the pair were "officially done" - with sources alleging he believed the make-up artist had been unfaithful.
Months earlier the couple were on-board Neil's private plane when it crashed into another jet in Arizona.
Back in February, Rain shared happy pictures of them boarding the doomed jet on social media before it took off.
She was then rushed to the hospital after Neil's plane collided with another aircraft at an airport in Scottsdale.
The pilot of Neil's private jet was killed, officials said at the time.
Three others, including Hannah and a friend plus a second pilot, were hurt in the collision.

Strictly champion Ore Oduba reveals secret struggle while on BBC show - 'It was hard'
The 39-year-old TV presenter - who started losing his locks in 2009 and resorted to using hair loss spray, then tablets to try and reverse the balding Ore Oduba says hiding his hair loss when he did Strictly Come Dancing was "hard but absolutely necessary". The 39-year-old TV presenter - who started losing his locks in 2009 and resorted to using hair loss spray, then tablets to try and reverse the balding - took desperate measures to hide his bald patches when he took part in the hit BBC Latin and ballroom dance show in 2016. Taking to Instagram to share a timeline of his hair loss journey in a picture carousel on Tuesday, Ore wrote next to his Strictly publicity shot: "Hiding my hair loss during Strictly was hard but absolutely necessary. "I'd visit my trusted barber every Friday night so my hair and hairline was tight and tidy, my fibres did the rest." The star and his professional dance partner, Joanne Clifton, 41, won Strictly Come Dancing in 2016. And Ore could not have his head in his hands to react to the shock of winning as the star feared he would have messed up his hair. Captioning a photo of him reacting to winning Strictly Come Dancing in the same photo carousel, Ore wrote: "My mind fully emptied from the shock... but I still had the wherewithal to know not to touch my hair when I had my head in my hands for fear it would look messy or out of place on camera." Elsewhere in the photo carousel, Ore admitted he feared losing his TV career if he had shaved or gone bald in 2019. Captioning a red carpet photo of him, the star explained: "It'd been nearly 10 years of hair insecurity and I was desperate to just shave it off. "But here's the really sad thing ... I didn't know any bald presenters on TV (that hadn't been actors or pop stars before, I see you Marvin Humes and Ross Kemp!) and I was SURE I'd never get a job again if I went shaved or bald." And Ore also revealed in the photo carousel that he would ask picture editors to "colour in my hair" so people would not notice his bald patches. Captioning a publicity shot of him taken in 2015, Ore revealed: "My TV profile was starting to rise, and by now I'm pretty adept in my hair 'system' routine. "I was even confident enough to ask photographers/editors to 'colour' in my hair so you couldn't notice even when you zoomed in pictures."

Olivia Culpo shares rare photos of her new baby girl Colette after welcoming the child a month ago
Olivia Culpo has shared new images of her baby on Instagram. On Thursday the influencer posted two images of her girl Colette Annalise McCaffrey when in a big mansion with dramatic crystal chandeliers. The reality TV darling welcomed the little one in mid July; the father is her 29-year-old husband, San Francisco 49ers football star Christian McCaffrey. The little baby was seen in a white onesie when laying on a bed and then Colette was in her arms as she got her makeup done. 'Bring your daughter to work day,' wrote the bikini model and designer over one of her images. In mid July, the former pageant queen, 33, confirmed the exciting news by posting a slideshow of black and white photos from the hospital with their newborn. 'Colette Annalise McCaffrey,' the model captioned her post, which received more than 211,859 others likes in 30 minutes. In another sweet post, uploaded to her Instagram Story, Culpo gushed 'Colette is so lucky to have the best daddy in the world. A love like no other.' She also described giving birth as 'the scariest and most rewarding of all experiences.' 'As soon as he came into the room I felt most at peace [crying emoji], look at the grip,' the new mom said of McCaffrey, referring to her white-knuckle grip on his arm. In the first image, the couple's newborn could be seen reaching up as she lays on a fuzzy blanket with her head turned to the side. Another photo showed McCaffrey gazing adoringly at his wife as she held their daughter in her arms. The French moniker of Colette reportedly means 'people of victory' and it was ranked No. 400 of Nameberry's Top 1000 baby names in the States last year. Other celebrities who chose Colette include FBI: Most Wanted actor Dylan McDermott and Fire Country actress Constance Zimmer. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Olivia Frances Culpo (@oliviaculpo) The German middle name of Annalise reportedly means 'grace and pledged to God' and it was ranked No. 462 of Nameberry's Top 1000 baby names in the States last year. Oscar winner Jamie Foxx famously named his 16-year-old daughter Annalise Bishop, but he now spells it 'Anelise.' Culpo kept her pregnancy hidden for approximately six months. In May a source told that she first 'started telling very close family members she was pregnant around Thanksgiving.' The pair went public with the news in March. She shared a series of stunning black-and-white snaps of herself cradling her bump on social media as she announced to her followers: 'Next chapter, motherhood.' Olivia also shared a video of herself and Christian romantically holding hands and kissing outdoors. The couple, who began dating since 2019, tied the knot last summer in a lavish ceremony in Rhode Island. Christian is the star running back for the San Francisco 49ers, while Olivia is an actress, model and former pageant star. Having a child was a dream Olivia was unsure she would be able to attain. During a 2022 episode of the reality show Culpo Sisters, she said: 'I want to have kids, but I want to make sure that I can. It could be really hard for me to have babies. She continued: 'Endometriosis can affect your fertility in a lot of different ways. 'You can have endometrial tissue growing near or on your ovaries, it can affect the quality of your eggs, scar your fallopian tubes. 'There is so much that I don't know about what's going to happen in the future with that condition, and I worry all the time about my timeline. I feel like I have to have kids ASAP.'

A Place In The Sun's Amanda Lamb, 53, shows off her figure in a bikini as she goes makeup free during sun soaked holiday
A Place In The Sun 's Amanda Lamb showed off her figure during her sun soaked holiday on Thursday. The TV presenter, 53, looked incredible in a brown bikini and went makeup free for a day by the pool. Sharing an update to Instagram, she gave an insight into her first three days and revealed she had travelled solo with four children in tow. Amanda shares two daughters with her husband Sean McGuinness; Willow, 16, and Lottie, 12, who each brought a friend along for the trip. She captioned the post: 'Flying solo on holiday. 1 parent 4 kids (2 I've birthed 2 I've acquired) … how many of you holiday on your own with your children? How do you find it? 'The first time I tried it I was terrified… thought I'd be judged, thought I wouldn't be able to entertain them and make them happy and I'd taken away their idea of the perfect family holiday.' Amanda continued: 'This is my fourth trip and now I can proudly say I'm nailing it…I've stopped trying to create the 'Boden catalogue perfect vacation' now I go with the flow. 'This year I've bankrupted myself and let them both bring a friend.. total game changer… we're now day 3 in and after the initial first day of not knowing what's hit us we've all found our rhythm. 'Uno a** whooping, buffet carnage, Aqua aerobics and star gazing on the beach. The kids are happy and therefore I am too.. 'If you're embarking on a solo parent trip for the first time.. have faith. It is weird, it isn't perfect but perfect is dull.. deep breaths, and allow yourself and the ones you love to just be for a while.' Amanda had modelled in the 90s but it was after becoming the main presenter of A Place In The Sun in 2001. The presenter left the show in 2009 around the time she was pregnant with her daughter Willow Rose. Speaking previously to the Daily Express, she said: 'It was all, sort of, quite organic because I was pregnant with Willow, and A Place in the Sun didn't get recommissioned, so they didn't want it for a couple of years. 'And by the time it came back, Willow was three and a half, and she was in nursery, and I had a load of other commitments.' She added: 'I just thought, I'm not taking her out of nursery, I'm not taking her out of school, I'm not leaving her for three weeks at a time. So the decision was kind of made for me.' The snaps came after Amanda revealed she enforces a 10pm 'tech' curfew for her family, forcing them to submit their mobile phones to her bedroom until the next day. She confessed she put the disciplinary measure in place so her husband Sean and two children Willow and Lottie, wouldn't be consumed by excessive screen time. During a conversation with Closer magazine, the star from Hampshire revealed details of the strict regime, which she said she implements five days a week - from Sundays to Thursdays. 'I'm a stickler for no screens at night,' she said. 'Everyone has to bring their devices up to my room at 10pm, and then they're all allowed them again in the morning.' She added: 'It's a constant battle, but the curfew is there to make sure they're not up all night and taking in too much blue light'.
