Heartthrob 80s rocker 'every girl was in love with' sparks concern at recent show

More info A recent gig by a legendary rocker, formerly the pin-up of countless admirers, has left supporters deeply worried about his wellbeing. Despite boasting Grammy nominations and decades of stage experience, recent performances have set alarm bells ringing amongst devoted followers. Mötley Crüe enthusiasts are scratching their heads over why frontman Vince Neil hasn't "dropped the key a few semitones" to guarantee a more agreeable and enjoyable experience for audiences. A Reddit thread on r/CrappyMusic highlighted just how challenging it was to endure Mötley Crüe's return to the spotlight, following their alleged farewell in 2015 and subsequent comeback to live performances in 2018. Concert-goers are left wondering whether Neil's vocal difficulties stem from illness or whether they're simply witnessing the heartbreaking deterioration of a rock legend, reports the Mirror US. One supporter questioned: "I don't know why he doesn't do what Ozzy did at his last show and drop the original key a few semitones to a comfortable range so he can actually do what the fans paid him to do." Another chimed in: "I've seen people at concerts with that same 'I really don't want to be here' look. But they were working concessions." A third speculated: "Just Vince Neil 'singing' while casually looking down at the lyrics taped to the stage. Nothing to see here... and definitely nothing you'd want to hear." A fellow band devotee concurred, stating: "I noticed that too. I'm flabbergasted. How can he possibly be looking at lyric sheets? "He's been singing these songs for 40 years now! If he needs to be reading the lyrics, then he's in worse shape than we know about." Another devotee was left utterly crushed by the show, reminiscing about a period when the group was "killing it" merely a decade ago. They expressed: "Stop already, this is making me sad." A fellow supporter echoed the sentiment, joining the wave of disillusionment: "This is really sad." Some pondered how the years have taken their toll on the group. One penned: "I remember when every girl I knew was in love with this guy." Someone else contributed: "Zero energy or interest. The fact that people pay and support this is extraordinarily sad." A third revealed: "The rest of the band still sounds so good. Such a shame to see him a such a low level." Additional audience members questioned whether this indicated Neil has simply lost his passion for performing. One supporter proposed: "He looks like a high-school kid who was forced to sing lead in a concert. Uncomfortable and doesn't want to be there." Someone else penned: "The vocals are bad, energy low and he's reading the lyrics for possibly his most famous song with maybe the least amount of lyrics. Milk 'em all, Vince!". Admirers remain optimistic that this represents nothing more than a brief stumble and that Vince Neil will shortly reclaim his rockstar status. Regardless of any disappointments, there's no denying he continues to be an absolute rock legend.

Motley Crue star's plane involved in fatal crash on Arizona runway
A private plane owned by Motley Crue lead singer Vince Neil has been involved in a fatal collision with another aircraft, his representative confirmed. The 64-year-old musician was not aboard the plane, which was flying into Scottsdale Airport in Arizona on Monday when the incident happened, killing one person and injuring others. A message on the official Motley Crue Instagram account from Neil's representative, the lawyer Worrick Robinson, said 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,' the statement added. 'Mr Neil was not on the plane.' Mr Robinson added: 'More specific details regarding the collision are not available as this is a rapidly evolving situation and there is an ongoing investigation. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mötley Crüe (@motleycrue) 'Mr Neil's thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved, and he is grateful for the critical aid of all first responders assisting today.' According to Scottsdale Airport, the accident happened at 2.39pm local time (9.39pm GMT) on Monday, when a Learjet veered off the runway and struck a parked Gulfstream plane. It appeared that the left main landing gear of the arriving jet failed, resulting in the collision, the airport said. The airport's statement confirmed one person died while three other people are being treated in hospital after being injured. Another person refused medical treatment, the statement added. Scottsdale Airport said it will remain closed until further notice and the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the crash. 'I am extremely grateful to the first responders and airport operations staff on scene today for their swift action and service,' Scottsdale aviation director Gary P Mascaro said. 'We offer our deepest condolences to those affected by this tragedy.' Neil has been part of Motley Crue since the 1980s, becoming part of the line-up with bassist Nikki Sixx, drummer Tommy Lee and guitarist Mick Mars. The heavy metal superstars are best known for tracks Home Sweet Home, Kickstart My Heart and Girls Girls Girls. In 2022, Mars announced that he will no longer tour with the band citing health challenges. The year before, Neil broke ribs after falling off a stage while performing solo in Tennessee.
