Huge rock star ‘splits from girlfriend of 15 years'
A huge US rock star is said to have 'split from his partner' of 15 years amid allegations of infidelity. It came after Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil and his band left fans devastated after cancelling a string of gigs due to his health, The Sun reported. Now the Dr Feelgood band's lead vocalist Vince, 64, is said to have broken up with long-time girlfriend Rain Hannah in reports published on TMZ. The pair had been in a relationship since 2011. Yet the publication claims the California-born star's love story is 'officially done' – with sources alleging he believed the make-up artist had been unfaithful. The Sun has now gone to Vince's rep for comment. The pair did not have any children together but raised a Yorkshire terrier named Cali, who sadly passed away in 2020 after being attacked by neighbourhood dogs. The split claims come just months after they were on-board Vince's private plane when it crashed into another jet in Arizona. Back in February, Rain had 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. Footage from the terrifying scene showed the harrowing moment the planes smashed into each other. Rain lowdown Rain is an American beauty educator, celebrity makeup artist, YouTuber and social media influencer. She also goes by Rain Andreani and was born in Las Vegas, Nevada on August 15, 1982. Rain completed a degree in Communications, Broadcasting and Journalism at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Gigs off Vince's blow to his personal life comes amid issues in his professional life, too. Mötley Crüe made the shock announcement of the postponement of their US residency in a post uploaded to Instagram in March – revealing it was lead vocalist Vince's health that took priority. The Rock band – who previously announced their retirement before making a U-turn, addressed their loyal fans in two statements. In a candid message 64-year-old Vince, who joined Mötley Crüe in 1981, wrote: 'To all the Crüeheads who were looking forward to see us this Spring, 'I'm truly sorry. 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.' A joint statement from the band then read: 'Please join us in wishing Vince a speedy recovery. 'We are looking forward for him to get well again and to take over Vegas together in September.' The Live Wire singers were due to take to the stage at Park MGM in Las Vegas between March 28 and April 19. Their shows will now kick off on September 12 instead, running through until September 27.

BREAKING NEWS Motley Crue singer Vince Neil 'splits from girlfriend of 15 years' amid cheating claims... after pal Tommy Lee gets ditched by wife
Vince Neil has broken up with his girlfriend of many years soon after his Motley Crue band mate Tommy Lee was ditched by his wife Brittany Furlan. News of Vince, 64, and Rain Hannah calling it quits broke on Friday when TMZ claimed the lovebirds were 'officially done.' The rock star asked to get out of the relationship because he believed she was cheated, sources told the site. It was one Neil's personal assistants who claimed that the blonde beauty was seeing another man. The site also alleged that the side romance was 'an open secret' before the assistant clued Neil in and that the singer was the last to know. Vince and Rain had been together for an impressive 15 years before going their separate ways. The site then added in a side note that they are not absolutely sure that the woman had the affair, but they are sure that Vince was told there was an affair. Their split comes a few months after Rain survived Neil's private plane crashing in Arizona, along with her friend Ashley and several dogs. Rain broke 5 ribs after Neil's jet crashed into Vince Vaughn's plane, which was parked near a hangar, killing the pilot of Neil's plane. Scottsdale Airport officials said their preliminary investigation appears to show the left main landing gear failed as the plane was touching down, causing the collision. Meanwhile, Vince was in Florida with pals. In the past Neil has romanced Alicia Jacobs (2010 - 2011), Savannah (1992), Lovey Graham (1980 - 1981) and Tami Jones (1978 - 1980). has reached out to Vince's rep for further comment. Vince - full name Vincent Neil Wharton - is the lead singer of the heavy metal band Motley Crue, which made the hit songs Wild Side and Home Sweet Home. He fronted the band from its formation in 1981 until 1992, reuniting in 1996 and again in 2018 after the band's 2015 retirement. Neil has also released three solo albums and a live recording. Beyond music, Neil is a businessman with investments in clothing, hospitality, vineyards, and more. The day before it was reported that Tommy Lee and his wife Brittany Furlan separated reportedly over his drinking. Sources close to Lee, 62, and Furlan, 38, told TMZ on Thursday that the heavy metal staple and comic/influencer have not lived together the past two weeks. Furlan was unhappy with the Mötley Crüe member's drinking and had made numerous attempts to try to guide him to sobriety to no avail, insiders told the outlet. Lee - who was previously married to Pamela Anderson, Elaine Starchuk and Heather Locklear - and Furlan are still 'in communication' with one another amid their split, insiders told the site. Other indicators surfaced via social media, as Lee posted a clip Thursday in which he said he was in the studio, creating a new track titled Stupid Girl. He captioned the post: 'Everything has its place and time and this one hits it right on the head Stupid girl!' has reached out to Lee's rep and Furlan and her reps for further comment. Sources told TMZ it was 'unclear' if a divorce filing was in the near future, Lee also unfollowed Furlan on Instagram. The two initially met in 2017, got engaged the next year, and got married the year after that, in 2019. Furlan, a native of Pennsylvania, is overseeing a business called Lovelee Jewelry, which the Home Sweet Home drummer was still following, despite no longer following her personal page.

What's the riskiest part of your flight? It isn't cruising at 40,000 feet
Hurtling through the sky, with nothing below you, apart from 40,000 feet of thin air may feel like a dangerous place to be, but when it comes to traveling in a commercial airplane, it's by no means the riskiest part of the flight. Aviation safety has come under renewed scrutiny following a series of harrowing incidents in recent weeks, prompting some anxious travelers to think twice about booking flights. While we're often told that flying in a plane is one of the safest modes of transportation, these events — some of them resulting in fatalities — underscore the fact that there are still dangers. But, according to pilots and aviation experts, these times of jeopardy come down to very specific moments during flight, chiefly takeoff and landing. And some say one is more inherently dangerous than the other. It's during these procedures that incidents occurred in recent months, prompting investigations from the US National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration. National attention on air safety heightened following the January 29 midair collision at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport when an American Airlines regional jet, moments from landing, was struck by a Black Hawk helicopter on a training mission. A couple of days later, a United Airlines flight from Houston to New York was evacuated after an engine fire was reported before takeoff. The 104 passengers and five crew members evacuated the aircraft on the runway using slides and stairs. Less than two weeks later, a Learjet 35A owned by Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil, who was not on the plane, veered off the runway while landing, and crashed into a Gulfstream business jet on the ramp at Scottsdale Municipal Airport, in Arizona, and the pilot died. Since then, attention to other aviation incidents have stirred public anxieties about flying, and airlines have noticed the financial burden. 'Some of us who were being told all the time 'flying, it's the safest rate of traveling,' we are scared right now, actually,' said Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman, a Democrat from New Jersey, to the head of the NTSB at an oversight hearing on March 26. However, experts remain confident in the country's safe skies and the ability to fine-tune the critical aspects of flying after learning from these incidents. Of the 1,468 accidents recorded in 2024 by the International Air Transport Association, 770 occurred on landing and 124 during takeoff. CNN Transportation Analyst Mary Schiavo attributes the higher percentages of accidents in these phases of flight to the inherent dangers and maneuvers required to take off and land at an airport. 'Airports present lots more stress on the pilots, the air traffic controllers and the aircraft,' Schiavo said. She thinks landings are more dangerous than takeoffs because there are fewer options when landing. 'It is just really a critical time, especially for mid-airs and collisions, etc.,' Schiavo said. 'If you're taking off, you have the runway. You see the runway in front of you, although sometimes you have people enter the pattern without the right clearances, and they try to land on top of somebody. But descent and landing are the absolute most dangerous time.' Takeoffs and landings are not taken lightly. Pilots are trained and retrained to react if something goes wrong during these key moments. They are so important, according to Dennis Tajer, spokesman for the Allied Pilots Association, which represents American Airlines pilots, that the FAA does not permit any unnecessary conversation or activity below 10,000 feet. The 'sterile cockpit' rule was enacted by the FAA in 1981. It sets aside time during these critical moments for a pilot's focus to be on the takeoff or landing of the airplane. 'It's so important that your full attention is on one thing, and that's flying the airplane right on down to the taxi,' Tajer said. 'For the actual flying for takeoff, you're at a heavier weight. You're accelerating from zero to the speed of being able to fly.' Pilots have a large number of checklists that are run to perform these tasks, he said. And there are redundancies if a pilot or controller starts to do something wrong. Just last week, Southwest Airlines Flight 3278 mistakenly began to take off on a taxiway at Orlando International Airport. Audio from the control tower showed the exact moment the tower canceled their takeoff. 'Stop Southwest 3278, stop!' an air traffic controller said from the tower, according to audio from Broadcastify. 'Cancel takeoff clearance. You're on H taxiway Southwest 3278.' Pilots then slammed the brakes to stop. 'Yes, sir. We stopped,' the pilot replied. These recent events brought to light areas where the industry can 'strengthen' the system and 'decrease risk,' according to Jason Ambrosi, president of the Air Line Pilots Association, which represents pilots at many airlines, including PSA, the American Airlines owned carrier involved in January's deadly midair collision. 'Safety is a shared responsibility that requires commitment from everyone who takes to the skies, from commercial airlines to general and business aviation operators,' Ambrosi said. 'Moments like this also reinforce why pilots train relentlessly, hold ourselves to the highest standards and work every day to ensure that air travel remains the safest mode of transportation.' Incidents and accidents happen more often in general aviation, largely because this category includes more aircraft. General aviation, as opposed to commercial aviation, refers to smaller airplanes, sometimes privately owned and used for recreational purposes. Mike Ginter, who is the senior vice president of the Air Safety Institute at the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, said that while there may be more small aircraft takeoff and landing accidents, these are least likely to be fatal. 'Last year we had 195 fatalities,' Ginter said. 'But in context, that's down. That's a 32-year low. Last year was probably the safest year we've ever had, and that's because we've got a 32-year downward slope, and we're going to continue to do that.' While it appears there's many incidents, Ginter said general aviation is continuing to increase its safety record. Ginter said there are 205,000 general aviation airplanes in the country, and every pilot's focus is on maintaining safety, and training is focused on that. Many of the NTSB's investigations into the recent incidents won't be finished for a year or more, but it can urge change in the interim. The FAA implemented one of the NTSB's urgent recommendations regarding helicopters in Reagan Airport's airspace following the midair collision investigation. Pilots, meanwhile, know the risks of takeoffs and landings and don't take them lightly. 'It may not be a rocket ship, but the amount of activity that's happening and the convergence of everything going right and being prepared if it doesn't, is all happening in that heightened point of activity of takeoff or landing,' Tajer said. 'It's critical. We've always got our game on, but that's having your A-game on.'
