MÖTLEY CRÜE‘s troubled vocalist, Vince Neil, 61, is starting to gain a mountain of support from his fanbase for the idea of the rotund singer to lip sync all of the Crue’s songs during their comeback tour, believe it or not, due to the fact that he admittedly can no longer sing any of the group’s songs properly, without running out of breath due to his ongoing obesity and alcoholism issues.
Neil is currently scheduled to play one more solo concert on March 25th at the Choctaw casino in Durant, Oklahoma with Ex-GUNS N ROSES drummer Steven Adler sharing the bill.
Neil recently canceled a previously scheduled July 6th solo concert “due to unfortunate circumstances.”
“Bad news for fans looking forward to seeing Vince Neil in concert at the Red River Valley Fair this summer.

The show has been canceled due to circumstances beyond anyone’s control according to fair operators.
Tickets for the July 16 concert with Neil, Great White and Vixen will be refunded.”
The Crue’s critics are now calling for the band to use “Plan B” and bring out ex-Crue singer John Corabi to help lighten the load if you will for Neil, sharing the singing duties throughout the concert. Although, everyone knows that Corabi himself refuses to lip sync any songs. He is a true rock performer.
In a 2014 interview, MÖTLEY CRÜE guitarist Mick Mars admitted that he wasn’t comfortable with the fact that his band used pre-recorded backing vocals in its live shows, claiming that he preferred to watch groups whose performances are delivered entirely live. “I don’t like it,” he said.
“I mean, I could put on a MÖTLEY CD and play with it all day long. I don’t wanna do that.” – Mick Mars
Vince owes me a 2/3rds refund on the last two shows I saw him in. He only sang every 3rd or 4th word. If rock n roll had a lemon law Vince Neil would be recalled. He’s not even in shape enough to lip sync. Sub par not worth the time or money.

At this point they should look into hiring someone from a Motley Crue tribute band.

I'm almost certain somebody would pay money to see the rest of Motley Crue with someone who looks and sounds like Vince Neil did in the '80s.
I hate to say it but maybe he should lip sync.
