MĂ–TLEY CRĂśE bassist Nikki Sixx has come to the defense of his bandmate Vince Neil after one of his social media followers criticized the singer's appearance and vocal performance.
The follower, who remains anonymous, posted a negative comment on one of Nikki's Instagram posts about Vince.,Nikki responded swiftly, writing: "What an embarrassing thing to post to me about my singer who's been with me for 45 years.
No matter what you think he's my brother." This isn't the first time Vince has faced criticism online due to his weight gain and perceived decline in vocal ability.
In fact, it's become a recurring theme throughout the band's history.,In an interview with SouthFlorida.com back in 2014, Vince discussed his daily regimen while on tour.
He stated that performing live every night is a form of exercise that keeps him in shape.
However, this hasn't stopped critics from scrutinizing his appearance and abilities.,MĂ–TLEY CRĂśE's current Las Vegas residency kicked off on September 12 at Dolby Live at Park MGM.
The band had initially rescheduled their shows due to Vince needing a "medical procedure," although they didn't elaborate further.,The band is now gearing up for their upcoming "The Return Of Carnival Of Sins" tour, celebrating the 20th anniversary of their iconic 2005-2006 "Carnival Of Sins" tour and the 45th anniversary of MĂ–TLEY CRĂśE itself.
The trek will feature support acts EXTREME and TESLA.,Nikki's defense of Vince serves as a reminder that the band remains united in their dedication to their fans and each other.
