Mötley Crüe has dropped off the coming Boardwalk Rock festival taking place May 17 and 18 in Ocean City, MD. According to Boardwalk Rock festival organizers, the band dropped due to “health reasons” – or more specifically, due to Vince Neil‘s recent medical procedure. Alice In Chains will replace Mötley Crüe at the festival.
“Mötley Crüe will be unable to perform at Boardwalk Rock in Ocean City, MD, on May 17 as Vince Neil is recuperating after a required medical procedure recently advised by his doctors,” wrote the band. “Vince‘s health comes first, and we fully support him in prioritizing his recovery. Please join us in wishing him well.
“We sincerely apologize to everyone who was looking forward to the show and appreciate your understanding. Our friends Alice In Chains are confirmed to take our place on May 17 and we are immensely grateful to them for stepping up and bringing their awesome show to Boardwalk Rock.
“Thank you to all the Crüeheads for your continued support. We can’t wait for Vince to fully recuperate and to be back on stage again soon.”
