The legendary rocker was due to kick off his solo trek on Wednesday with a gig in Barcelona, Spain. But the concert was scrapped at the last minute, along with two other Spanish dates, reportedly due to a combination of low ticket salesand the recent closure of La Riviera venue in Madrid, where Neil was scheduled to perform on December 16th.
The star subsequently opted to scrap the rest of the concerts around Europe, including shows in Italy, Germany, Hungary, Russia and the U.K. The news was confirmed in a statement from Fatal Smile, the band due to open for Neil on the European tour.
In a statement, they say, "We're really sorry to inform you that the rumors are true: Vince Neil of Motley Crue canceled his whole European solo tour just one day before the tour should kick off. The official statement for the tour cancellation refers to the rejection of the Spanish promoter for the three scheduled shows in Barcelona, Bilbao and Madrid. For organizational reasons this has affected the whole European tour. The management of Vince Neil thereupon decided to cancel the tour. All involved parties have tried their best to still let the tour happen, even the tour promoter didn't give up until the very last minute!"
