Overview

• Neil says the stroke occurred in his sleep the day after Christmas, leaving his whole left side impaired and forcing him to relearn how to walk.
• Mötley Crüe delayed the March–April residency after announcing a vague “required medical procedure,” a description now clarified by Neil’s disclosure.
• He describes a rehabilitation path at his Nashville home from being carried to a wheelchair, then a walker and a cane, before progressing to running, with his singing voice unaffected.
• Doctors warned he might not return to the stage, but he resumed performing with solo shows in early August and opened the band’s 10-show Las Vegas run on Friday.
• The residency at Dolby Live runs Sept. 12 through Oct. 3 with original tickets honored, and the band also canceled a planned appearance at Maryland’s Boardwalk Rock festival.
