Mötley Crüe’s Nikki Sixx has spoken highly of frontman Vince Neil, saying he admires the singer’s “courage” and determination to step back onto the stage after experiencing a stroke.
The 64 year old vocalist suffered the stroke last December, which led the band to move their Las Vegas residency to a later date. They recently finished the postponed run.
The glam metal band’s bassist reflected on the uncertainty that surrounded Neil’s health emergency in a new interview.
Speaking on SiriusXM’s Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk, he shared: “There was doubt.
“We didn’t know if he was going to recover from this. I know he had fear, but he put the time in, and there’s a lot you can do.”
Sixx stressed how nothing outweighs personal wellbeing, no matter how successful a person may be. He remarked: “Your health is everything. I don’t care how big your band is, how big of a star you are, or how wealthy you tell people you are. If you don’t have your health, you’ve really got nothing.”
The 66 year old musician said he is truly “proud” of Neil for finding the strength to perform again.
He explained: “It was something that could have meant he’d never get on stage again. So the fact that he did get back up there… I’m proud of him.”
Sixx also praised Neil for the effort he put in to rebuild his voice ahead of the shows.
He said: “A lot of people, when things go wrong in their life, either get written off, or they can’t survive it. We were there the whole time, encouraging him, and he focused on doctors and his health. We spent a lot of time in rehearsal to give him the opportunity to strengthen his voice, and it just sounded so good. It felt good.”
Next July, the band will be back for The Return Of Carnival Of Sins to mark twenty years since their 2005 to 2006 Carnival Of Sins tour and to celebrate the group’s forty fifth anniversary.
Fans can look forward to hearing a few tracks that rarely make their way into the setlist.
Sixx told the host: “We wanna get into some songs that we either haven’t played or haven’t played in a long time. And it is hard, because you have the hits, and you have a lot of hits up there, and then what are you gonna do? Take Dr. Feelgood out and play Knock ’Em Dead, Kid from Shout Out The Devil? I think some people are gonna be disappointed. So how do you get some of those deeper tracks, Too Young To Fall In Love, Piece Of Your Action, how do you get those in there and not ignore the fact that people are there to hear also those big hits. Those songs were a big part of them growing up and workout playlists, the whole thing. We hear everything about how our music has been woven into people’s lives over the years, whether they were teenagers or young adults. So it is always a balancing act.”
