It seems it will surely be a race to the finish for Neil, as pressure continues mounting in lieu of <strong>M\u00d6TLEY CR\u00dcE<\/strong>&#8216;s big comeback, slated to finally happen in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">However, Neil&#8217;s fast living lifestyle, which includes massive food consumption and binge drinking, could spell doom for all four original band members reuniting for a return to the concert stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The funny thing is the same guy who the Crue hired to be their historian, author<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blabbermouth.net\/news\/former-motley-crue-singer-john-corabis-autobiography-horseshoes-and-hand-grenades-to-be-released-in-april\/\"> Paul Miles<\/a><\/strong>, is also helping <strong>John Corabi<\/strong> with his book that is set to be released, yet he is going around doing interviews stating that there is &#8220;confusion&#8221; as to whether or not Vince was fired by the band back in 1992 or he quit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/VinceNeiloswego1-2.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  data-gnlv=\"hey\" src=\"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/VinceNeiloswego1-2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-87248\" width=\"498\" height=\"708\" srcset=\"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/VinceNeiloswego1-2.jpeg 524w, https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/VinceNeiloswego1-2-211x300.jpeg 211w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 498px) 100vw, 498px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>The Good, The Fat &amp; The Ugly: Will The Real Vince Neil Please Stand Up?<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">However, after doing some careful research, something he might want to do himself, clearly the fact is that Vince was indeed fired by <strong>Nikki Sixx<\/strong>, the man who first formed the band.
