Vince Neil, the legendary front man of Mötley Crüe, is an international
superstar, accomplished businessman and heartfelt philanthropist. His
unmistakable voice leads some of the greatest rock songs of a generation
including “Wild Side,” “Shout at the Devil,”
“Home Sweet Home,” “Girls, Girls, Girls,” “Dr. Feelgood,” “Kickstart My
Heart,” “Same Ol’ Situation,” and many others. Raised on the tough
streets of Compton, California, Vince Neil fell in love with music as a
child, developing a broad vocabulary that ranged
from classic Motown to hard rock. As a teenager, he began performing
with local bands and soon discovered both a passion for the stage and a
natural talent as a singer and performer. He fronted the popular band
Rock Candy before reuniting with high school
buddy Tommy Lee in 1981, establishing his spot in rock and roll history
with the formation of Mötley Crüe. Mötley Crüe’s epic 34‐year run
included countless multi‐platinum releases, more than 22 hit singles,
100 million albums sold and dozens of global tours
with sold out arenas, inclusive of some of the largest venues in the
world. The band completed “The Final Tour” on New Year’s Eve 2015,
closing the book that told the story of their iconic career. Despite the
Mötley Crüe departure from the rock world, however,
Vince Neil shows no sign of slow down, continuing to carry on with the
unending “The Legacy Continues Tour”. Neil continues to perform all the
classic Mötley Crüe hits with select cuts from his three solo albums.
Additionally, this badass performer is working
on new music, and has hinted about performing some of it during this
tour: “I’ll say that we are recording some stuff for a new record this
year,” he said in a Loudwire interview in January. “You often hear some
surprises at our shows. I don’t want to give
away some of those surprises…The music is exciting. It’s good, fun,
nasty, raw energy and great songs.” Presently, Neil remains primarily
occupied answering the call to his immense following with shows
internationally in conjunction with the culmination of
his fourth solo album. Besides being an international superstar, Neil
is an accomplished businessman and heartfelt philanthropist. He manages
to own several restaurants and his own brand of both tequila and vodka.
Certainly not least, his efforts have rallied
millions of dollars for a non‐profit organization, The Skylar Neil
Memorial Foundation, in tribute to the unfortunate loss of his daughter
to cancer in 1995. In January of 2017 Vince Neil is back in the TV
spotlight once again, as a contestant on NBC’s The
Celebrity Apprentice, featuring new host Arnold Schwarzenegger.
