Overview

  • Neil said the stroke occurred in his sleep the day after Christmas and left his left side immobilized.
  • He detailed a recovery that moved from being carried to a wheelchair, then a walker and cane, and noted that his voice was not affected.
  • The health crisis prompted Mötley Crüe to shift its Park MGM residency from March–April to September and to cancel a May 17 Boardwalk Rock Festival appearance.
  • The rescheduled residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM runs Sept. 12 through Oct. 3, with tickets from the original dates honored.
  • Neil returned to the stage with a solo show in Boston in early August, and a separate February collision involving his Learjet was reported with him not on board.
