Vince Neil Says He Suffered Four Strokes as He Resumes Las Vegas Shows

Brain scans revealed earlier strokes following the Christmas episode.

Overview

  • The Mötley Crüe singer disclosed on SiriusXM's Trunk Nation that doctors found evidence of four strokes over the years, including two he had not realized occurred.
  • He said the most recent event struck on Christmas night and temporarily disabled his left side, with doctors attributing it to a blood clot that traveled from his leg to his brain.
  • Neil described a months-long rehabilitation that moved from wheelchair to walker to cane, including initial treatment in Nashville and daily at-home training, and he now estimates he is about 95% recovered.
  • A physician initially warned he might not return to the stage, yet he is performing again during the band's rescheduled Dolby Live residency running through October 3 in Las Vegas.
  • His health issues prompted the postponement of the spring residency to September and the cancellation of a May festival appearance, and he said he kept details private until recent interviews.
