Mötley Crüe Postpone Las Vegas Residency as Vince Neil Undergoes ‘Medical Procedure'
Mötley Crüe won't be launching their upcoming Las Vegas residency as planned this month, with vocalist Vince Neil set to undergo an unspecified 'medical procedure.'
The tour – which was originally scheduled to run for 11 shows from March 28 through April 19 – will now be taking place throughout September and early October instead. According to a statement from the band, the reason for this shift relates to Vince Neil needing to undergo a 'required medical procedure' as per doctor's orders.

'To all the Crüeheads who were looking forward to see us this Spring, I'm truly sorry,' Neil wrote in the statement. '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. Thank you for all the well wishes that keep reaching me. Your support means more than you know.'
In a joint statement, Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee and guitarist John 5 all shared their well wishes for Neil. 'Please join us in wishing Vince a speedy recovery,' they wrote. 'We are looking forward for him to get well again and to take over Vegas together in September. We can't wait to see you all out there, and thank you for your understanding and support in the meantime.'
The revised tour will still take place at Dolby Live at Park MGM, albeit from Sept. 12 to Oct. 3 instead. While tickets from the original residency dates will remain valid for the new shows, the tour has now been pared down to just ten shows, with the April 19 performance having been canceled entirely.
Neil's undisclosed medical procedure is the latest misfortune to affect the singer in recent weeks. On Feb. 10, a plane owned by Neil was at the center of a fatal crash in Scottsdale, AZ. Neil was not present at the time of the incident.
'At 2:39 p.m. local time, a Learjet aircraft Model 35A owned by Vince Neil was attempting to land at the Scottsdale Airport,' a statement from Neil's representative, Worrick Robinson IV read. 'For reasons unknown at this time, the plane veered from the runway causing it to collide with another parked plane. On board Mr. Neil's plane were two pilots and two passengers.'
