Vince Neil

Vince Neil, lead singer for American heavy metal band Mötley Crüe, comes to Dudley, courtesy of JB's!

He was discovered while performing with his band, Rock Candy, and joined Mötley Crüe in 1981. That same year, he married his first wife, Beth Lynn and Mötley Crüe released its first album, Too Fast for Love. In 1983, Mötley Crüe released Shout at the Devil, a blockbuster success that established the band as one of the biggest acts of the 1980s.

Neil left Mötley Crüe to pursue a solo career in February 1992. According to rumors in the band’s autobiography, The Dirt, he was fired because he was more interested in car racing than in the band (he was racing in the Indy Lights open wheel developmental series at the time). In 1992 he released his first solo offering, a single “You’re Invited (But Your Friend Can’t Come) featured on the Encino Man soundtrack. Exposed, his solo debut,debuted at #13 on the Billboard charts, was released in mid-1993.

Vince Neil is currently touring with his solo band, now consisting of Slaughter members Jeff Blando and Dana Strum, as well as drummer Zoltan Chaney.

Support comes in the form of LA sleaze-rockers Starwood, featuring Lizzy Borden.
