MÖTLEY CRÜE singer Vince Neil has revealed that he suffered a stroke last Christmas, leading to the postponement of the band’s Las Vegas residency.

The residency, which was originally scheduled for March 28 – April 19, 2025, ended up being moved to September 2025 due to what MÖTLEY CRÜE said in March was “a required medical procedure advised by Neil‘s doctors.”

In a new interview with the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Neil opened up about his previously undisclosed medical condition, saying: “I had a stroke. My whole left side went out… I had to learn to walk again, and that was tough. The doctors said they didn’t think I’d be able to go back on stage again. I go, ‘No, no, I’m gonna do it. Watch and see.'”

Neil continued: “I went from people carrying me to the bathroom, because I couldn’t walk myself, finally to a wheelchair. I graduated to a walker, and then I had a cane. Now I don’t need anything. But it’s like a full-time job getting back to where you feel good again.”

Vince added: “It takes a while to get your brain to start moving your legs, for them to do what your brain wants to do. You try to walk but it doesn’t come out right.”

The 64-year-old singer said that he worked with a football coach in Nashville, where Neil resides, and has been “doing a lot of running,” adding, “It’s been tough, but I’m back, I’m 90, 95 percent to where I was before, and it’s going to be great.”

Prior to Vince‘s August 1, 2025 concert at the MGM Music Hall at Fenway in Boston, Massachusetts with his solo band, Neil hadn’t performed live since hitting the stage with MÖTLEY CRÜE in October 2024 at the Aftershock festival in Sacramento, California.

MÖTLEY CRÜEwill release a new compilation, “From The Beginning”, on September 12 on CD and vinyl via BMG.

“From The Beginning” spans four decades of CRÜE anthems, kicking off with the band’s first global single and MTV video “Live Wire” and winding through the years to 2024’s Top 5 rock smash “Dogs Of War”. In between are the hits and fan favorites that shaped the rock genre and a generation, including “Kickstart My Heart”, “Dr. Feelgood”, “Girls, Girls, Girls”, “Shout at the Devil”, “Smokin’ In The Boys Room”, “Wild Side” and many more. It includes a stunning new version of the band’s revered classic “Home Sweet Home”, reimagined as a heartfelt duet with none other than globally beloved superstar Dolly Parton.

The CD version of “From The Beginning” features 19 tracks, while the vinyl has been expanded to 21 songs, including “Afraid” and the title track of last year’s “Cancelled” EP.
