Motley Crue singer recovering from surgery

Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil is recovering after undergoing emergency kidney surgery.

According to an article posted yesterday at UltimateClassicRock.com, the singer was hospitalized and underwent surgery after a kidney stone attack forced the veteran Los Angeles bad boys to cut their Sunday night show in Sydney, Australia short.

The surgery was successful, and Neil updated fans on Twitter to say he’d be able to continue the tour, writing, “Doc says I should have a full recovery and be back onstage for the Brisbane show tomorrow. Thanks to my bandmates and crew for your support!”

Their next show is scheduled for March 12 at Brisbane Entertainment Centre.

The “Dr. Feelgood” hitmakers are currently wrapping up the Australian Monster Tour leg with Kiss and Thin Lizzy, before heading to Canada for a solo tour next month.

Their 18-city Canadian leg kicks off on April 20 in Penticton, BC at South Okanagan Events Centre and winds up on May 14 in Ottawa, ON at Scotiabank Place.

See Motley Crue’s official website for more details.
