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.

WNBA's hottest star Sophie Cunningham reveals her true thoughts on league's sex toy scandal
WNBA superstar Sophie Cunningham has lifted the lid on the shocking moment she was hit by a sex toy thrown from the stands. The league spent a week embroiled in controversy after fans repeatedly threw multi-colored sex toys onto various courts, with Indiana Fever star Cunningham perhaps the most affected by it when one struck her in the foot. She laughed it off in the moment, but has now spoken in depth about the incident, which forced security to be stepped up across the entire WNBA. On her new podcast alongside influencer West Wilson, Cunningham said: 'I feel like I brought that onto myself because I tweeted,' referencing the post in which she told her followers: 'stop throwing dildos on the court… you're going to hurt one of us.' 'Dude, that tweet got over 40 million views,' she continued. 'I tweeted it like, joking, but also a little bit serious. 'We were playing against LA, I was at the free throw line, the girl shot and then I felt something hit my foot and I thought someone had kicked me or whatever. I looked down and it was a dildo and it scared me, I jumped up and everyone was like, "why are you freaking out?" My mind just wasn't expecting that. Cunningham was seen visibly flinching after the erotic item was thrown onto the court 'The game stopped, my train of thought just went... I just got hit by a dildo! It was like a bounce-hit, it scared the s**t out of me. At least it didn't hit me in the face or anything.' To conclude, she insisted: 'We don't [support it]. We have to [move on].' The controversy now appears to have dried up, with over a week now having passed since one was thrown. Multiple fans were arrested for their parts in the prank, and security had to be increased throughout the league, with bags even banned from being allowed into arenas.

Quick-thinking members of iconic band come to rescue during miserable delayed Alaskan Air flight
An iconic jazz saxophonist and his band unpacked their instruments and delivered an unexpected, high-energy performance that lifted the spirits of weary passengers stranded aboard an Alaskan Airlines flight. More than 100 travelers en route from St. Louis to Seattle were left stranded Tuesday when their flight was suddenly diverted to Boise, Idaho, due to mechanical issues - yet another frustrating setback in air travel, according to San Francisco Chronicle. Among the grounded passengers was 62-year-old Dave Koz, a Grammy-nominated musician set to perform Friday at the Blue Note Summer Sessions held at Napa's Meritage Resort. While the plane awaited repairs on the Boise tarmac and passengers grew restless in silence, the mood aboard the motionless aircraft abruptly shifted. Koz and his Summer Horns 2025 bandmates - Marcus Anderson, Jeff Bradshaw, Leo P, Evan Taylor, and Marcel Anderson - stood up and pulled out their shining gold horns. Moments later, they burst into an electric performance, launching into a vibrant rendition of Stevie Wonder's legendary classic, 'I Haven't Done Nothing.' A powerful blast of trumpets, saxophones, trombones and a tambourine rose in symphony as the band members stood in the aisle, bobbing and moving with infectious energy. In mere seconds, the cramped cabin was transformed into an unforgettable space filled with joyous passengers. While some stood and clapped along to the infectious rhythm, others captured the moment on their phones. Near the center of the impromptu concert, a smiling father holding his young daughter swayed and danced together - both their eyes fixed on the performance unfolding before them. The entire moment was captured by fellow saxophonist Marcus Anderson, who later shared the video on his Instagram page. 'Delay after delay after delay... frustrations turned into fun,' Anderson captioned the post. 'We pulled out our horns and brought smiles bright as the sun!' he added. 'Summer Horns turned a flight into a front row concert - because when you feel it, you play it.' Within hours, the post racked up millions of views across Instagram and Facebook, with viewers echoing the same sentiment - it was a heartwarming moment that beautifully captured the power of human connection. 'No one can deny that music is the universal language!!!!!!!!!!!!' one comment read. 'Literally crying!!! This has now officially replaced my flash mob emotions!!!' a third added. A viewer jokingly wrote: 'You won't get this PREMIUM experience in Business Class!' 'This is the reason why I can't give up loving humans,' another said. 'Beautiful vibes.' The band eventually made it to Napa, California, where they headlined one of the Blue Note Summer Sessions - a celebrated outdoor concert series set against the scenic backdrop of a wine-country village lawn. Friday's performance showcased the group's signature horn-driven sound, seamlessly blending smooth jazz, R&B, funk, and infectious energy - delivering the ultimate soundtrack for a summer evening. Koz's illustrious career spans more than three decades, with regular appearances in the Bay Area. He is also known for his performances at iconic venues including Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, and the Hollywood Bowl.

Georgia Love takes a swipe at ex-husband Lee Elliott in shock post with another man
Georgia Love has thrown subtle shade at her ex-husband Lee Elliott in the wake of their divorce announcement. The Bachelorette Australia star took to Instagram on Friday to share a snap cuddled up with her 'soulmate' Abir Ahmed. Abir, Georgia's best friend since she was 14 years old, could be seen with his arm wrapped around her shoulders as they looked out at the New York City skyline. Georgia, 35, opted for a bright red frock while her platonic significant other donned a simple white t-shirt. 'Who says a soulmate has to be a romantic partner?' she captioned the post, which appeared to be a burn aimed at Lee and their nine year marriage. Georgia and Abir recently vacationed in the Caribbean together in the same week her ex, 44, moved out of their marital home. The former reality TV star has shared a number photos from her luxury getaway on Instagram, including a snap in which she and Abir locked lips. The duo were posing for a friendly photo when Abir embraced Georgia and pulled her in for a comically open-mouthed kiss. 'I came, I saw, I conquered,' he captioned the three-way picture, which also saw him laughing as he walked away from a stunned Georgia. Georgia has posted several more photos with her best pal since then, enjoying some fun in the sun with their other friends during the island escape. The friends had been living it up on a Carnival cruise sailing around the Caribbean before heading back to New York City, where Abir is based. Georgia and Abir have been friends for a while, with the Bachelorette star leaning on him for support after her split from Lee. She has even replaced a photo of herself and Lee in her home with a picture of her male best friend in a brutal move post-breakup. The journalist took to her Instagram a few weeks ago to reveal her new home setup, which included a photo with Abir. The image showed the pair warmly embracing and smiling for the camera at her real-life bachelorette party in 2021. Abir was also there with Georgia when she jetted off to the US over the New Year amid rumours she and Lee had split. It comes after Lee sparked speculation that he has been enjoying a romance with radio star Carrie Bickmore. According to Woman's Day, the pair have been spending a lot of time together at Carrie's home in recent weeks. The publication claimed they were introduced by mutual friends and the relationship is 'heating up quickly'. 'They've been trying hard to keep things under wraps,' a source told the magazine. 'But there's definitely something romantic going on. They're a beautiful couple!' Lee and Georgia, who first met on the 2016 season of The Bachelorette, announced their separation with identical posts to Instagram in May.
