As previously reported, Vince Neil ended up falling off stage during his October 15 set at the Monsters On The Mountain festival in Pigeon Forge, TN. Now, Mötley Crüe have shared a new update on the singer’s condition:
“Vince is back home and resting after breaking a few ribs on Friday night. Our love and best wishes for a speedy recovery and ready to rock in ‘22!! 🖤🤘”
During his October 15 set at the Monsters On The Mountain festival in Pigeon Forge, TN, Vince Neil (Mötley Crüe) ended up falling off the stage. According to TMZ, “there was a small gap between the speaker and the stage that Vince didn’t see and he fell through the crevice onto the floor.” One of his roadies and a security guard helped him back up and he limped away before an ambulance took him to the hospital. His solo band reportedly finished the set with guitarist Jeff Blando on vocals. Bassist Dana Strum told the crowd the following [via Blabbermouth]:
“The truth is Vince fell and broke ribs when he fell. He can’t breathe and he’s gonna get dealt with medically. Now, that sucks for us, and him. He was so excited to be here. He lives in Tennessee. But he was willing to stick it out and tough it out when the people back here were telling him ‘Don’t do it.’ Let’s have one good round of applause, please, for this guy.”
Vince Neil is preparing for Mötley Crüe’s upcoming stadium tour by using Emsculpt Neo. According to Blabbermouth, that fat-burning method is “a revolutionary new treatment which supposedly builds muscle and reduces fat using both radio frequency and high-intensity electromagnetic energies.” Swagger also offered more information:
“[The Emsculpt Neo procedure] is done in-office, is needle-free, and does not require any downtime. The technology uses energy waves that cause your muscles to fire up to 20,000 times per 30-minute session for simultaneous deep tissue muscle building, remodeling, and fat burn.”

Last night (August 5), Mötley Crüe’s Vince Neil returned to the stage for a private event in Austin, TX. You can see some footage of “Looks That Kill” and “Dr. Feelgood” from the performance below, courtesy of SiriusXM’s Eddie Trunk. Notably, the frontman appeared to have put on a much better show than he did during the Boone Iowa River Valley Festival earlier this year. That lackluster set made headlines after the singer lost his voice during “Girls, Girls, Girls.”
The lineup has been revealed for the inaugural Monsters On The Mountain festival. The event will take place at the LeConte Center in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee on October 15-17 and it will feature the following artists: Tesla, Vince Neil, Night Ranger, Winger, Kix, Slaughter, Firehouse, Eclipse, Pat Travers, BulletBoys, Vixen, Kingdom Come, Lynch Mob, Rhino Bucket, Liliac, Native Sons, Gilby Clarke, John Corabi, Anthony Corder, Mark Evans, Randy Hansen, Jeff Scott Soto, and Jason Bieler. Former “That Metal Show” hosts Eddie Trunk, Don Jamieson, and Jim Florentine will host the festival. SiriusXM’s Boneyard and Hair Nation will also help keep the party going as well.
On May 29, Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil played his first show since the coronavirus pandemic at the Boone Iowa River Valley Festival in Boone, Iowa. However, the frontman ended up cutting the performance short after losing his voice during the set’s 14th song, “Girls, Girls, Girls.”
Neil told the crowd the following:
“Hey, guys… I’m sorry, you guys. It’s been a long time playin’. My fuckin’ voice is gone… Eh… We love you, and we’ll hopefully see you next time, man. Take care.”
After he left the stage, his solo band finished performing “Girls, Girls, Girls” with pre-recorded backing vocals. This news follows a series of other low quality solo performances from Neil in recent years.
This latest show has once again stirred up doubt about the singer’s ability to perform on Mötley Crüe’s stadium tour with Def Leppard, Poison, and Joan Jett, which has since been rescheduled for 2022. The band’s manager Allen Kovac previously addressed those concerns, saying that members of the band were working with trainers and nutritionists to prepare for the trek. However, it seems Neil is still struggling.
