Motley Crue's Vince Neil Hospitalised In Australia
The vocalist has been suffering from kidney stones pain
Motley Crue’s Vince Neil was taken to hospital in Sydney last night (10th March) after illness forced him to cut short the band’s gig in the Australian city.
According to the band’s manager Allen Kovac, the 52-year-old singer has been suffering from kidney stones pain “for the last few days” but his condition worsened during Motley Crue’s second night at Sydney’s Allphones Arena.
Vince’s bandmate Mick Mars tweeted: “Sydney, my apologies for a short set this evening. Vince had an attack of kidney stones. He went straight from stage to the hospital.”
Nikki Sixx added: “Sorry Sydney for a short set tonight but Vince had to be rushed to the hospital for internal pain.”
Despite Vince’s condition, Kovac says he’s determined to honour the band’s show with KISS and Thin Lizzy at Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Tuesday.
He told CNN: "Vince is a warrior, who has played shows through a wide ranging list of injuries. If there is a way to safely perform, he always does. In nearly 20 years of managing Motley Crue, I can't recall a show the band has cancelled."
Motley Crue and KISS’s Australian tour concludes at Virgin Australia Stadium in Mackay on Saturday night.
