Shocking news to report. M\u00d6TLEY CR\u00dcE<\/strong> lead vocalist, Vince Neil<\/strong>, has quit the band. An official statement from the legendary glam act is currently pending as they contact the organizers for their once highly anticipated comeback tour, so preparations can be made to effectively issue refunds to all ticket buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M\u00d6TLEY CR\u00dcE<\/strong> were set to team up with DEF LEPPARD<\/strong>, POISON<\/strong> and JOAN JETT & THE BLACKHEARTS<\/strong> for “The Stadium Tour”<\/strong> this summer. The trek would have kicked off on June 18 in Jacksonville, Florida and was to include newly announced gigs in Kansas City, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Nashville, Cincinnati and Cleveland. The tour would have marked CR\u00dcE<\/strong>‘s first live dates since wrapping its 2014\/2015 farewell run. The band toured with POISON<\/strong> back in 2011 and DEF LEPPARD<\/strong> teamed up with POISON<\/strong> for a string of road dates in 2017 \u2014 but the now cancelled “comeback tour” marks the official end for The Crue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first, early word was that Vince Neil was secretly suffering from an acute form of Coronavirus<\/a><\/em>, and this is what has forced them to pull the plug. However, a ‘Crue Insider’ now confirms that Neil is simply in the worst shape of his life and there’s no way to turn him back around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite drummer Tommy Lee stating that the tour was still a “go” today via social media, the fact of the matter is the Crue’s comeback was ill fated the moment everyone in the band’s camp saw Vince Neil attempting to train while eating vast amounts of food and binge drinking his favorite beer at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Vince Neil is his own worst enemy right now,” confessed a band insider to TMD. “Nobody wants to admit that he is a walking disaster, because there was a lot of money on the line with this comeback, and frankly, each band member could have used the financial boost, since the band has not been making any real money to speak of in over a decade. In the end, it was not the fact that he could not lose all of the weight, but Vince threw in the towel last night over fat jokes he read that were posted by Randy “Rocket” Cody <\/strong>of TheMetalDen.com<\/strong> site.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
