Motley Crue singer Vince Neil has finally issued a statement regarding the cancellation of his European solo tour.

At the top of his website vinceneil.net, the following statement now appears:

Vince Neil’s European tour has been cancelled due to the promoter’s breach of contract.

“I regret not being able to come over to Europe at this time due to circumstances beyond my control,”
said Neil. “I hope to be able to visit next year for a more extensive tour.”

So there it is, the statement the Metalblog complained about the lack of yesterday. Vince even used the “circustances beyond my control” that the Metalblog suggested.

Like we said yesterday, tours get cancelled all the time for one reason or another. As a fan, I would expect the artist to at least acknowledge a tour has been cancelled and hopefully give a reason why.

Or better yet, do everything possible to give the fans a show. I know of other bands that have continued with a tour despite getting dicked around by promoters. 

You dick around the fans enough, regardless of whose fault it is, eventually they will lose interest. This is the second European tour that Vince Neil has cancelled in the past couple of years. People don’t forget being let down, especially when it happens more than once.

I wonder how many Motley Crue fans will not bother buying tickets the next time Vince Neil announces a solo tour figuring that too will be cancelled.
