A pretty punch set list, hey?
This Vegas residency is more than nostalgia, it’s also about defiance. Mötley Crüe was supposed to do their residency March 28 – April 19, 2025, but pushed to September when singer Vince Neil suffered a stroke last Christmas. Neil told the Las Vegas Review-Journal, “My whole left side went out… I had to learn to walk again. But I said, ‘No, no, I’m gonna do it. Watch and see.’”
Crazy, right?
From being carried to the bathroom, to a wheelchair, to a walker, to a cane, Vince fought back. By summer, he was running with a football coach in Nashville. By August, he was back onstage in Boston with his solo band. Now, at 64, he’s proving it in Vegas. “I’m 90, 95 percent to where I was before,” he said. “And it’s going to be great.”
Mötley Crüe once again proved the impossible: Too fast to die, too loud to quit.
