MÖTLEY CRÜE frontman Vince Neil is “back home and resting” after breaking his ribs during a concert this past Friday (October 15) at the Monsters On The Mountain festival at LeConte Center in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.
The incident occurred early into the set — while the band was performing CRÜE classic “Don’t Go Away Mad (Just Go Away).” In fan-filmed video of the incident, which can be seen below, Vince can be seen encouraging the crowd to clap at the end of the song while taking a step or two forward toward the front left side of the stage before losing his footing and falling off.
A short time later, bassist Dana Strum addressed the crowd about the extent of Neil‘s injuries, saying: “The truth is Vince fell and broke ribs when he fell. He can’t breathe… He was so excited to be here. He lives in Tennessee. But he was willing to stick it out and tough it out… Let’s have one good round of applause, please, for this guy.”
Now, MÖTLEY CRÜE‘s official social media was updated with the following message: “Vince is back home and resting after breaking a few ribs on Friday night. Our love and best wishes for a speedy recovery and ready to rock in ’22!!”
It has previously been reported that Neil is trying out a new toning machine in an apparent effort to get in shape for MÖTLEY CRÜE and DEF LEPPARD upcoming “The Stadium Tour.”
Neil revealed he is using Emsculpt Neo, a revolutionary new treatment which supposedly builds muscle and reduces fat using both radio frequency and high-intensity electromagnetic energies.
New dates and tickets for “The Stadium Tour,” featuring MÖTLEY CRÜE, DEF LEPPARD, POISON and JOAN JETT & THE BLACKHEARTS can be found at this location.
