So, How Old is Vince Neil of Mötley Crüe?
You know, I was at this rock 'n' roll memorabilia show last weekend, and I bumped into this guy who was dressed head-to-toe in Mötley Crüe merch. He was probably in his late 20s, early 30s, and he was going on and on about how he wished he could've seen the band in their heyday. I chuckled and said, "Well, you're not missing out on much, buddy. Vince Neil's still out there, and he's not getting any younger." That got me thinking, just how old is Vince Neil these days?
Now, I'm not one to blow my own horn, but I like to think I'm pretty knowledgeable about the rock scene. But even I had to do a double-take when I looked up Vince's age. I mean, the guy's been around since the late '70s, so I guess it's no surprise that he's not a spring chicken anymore. But let's dive into the numbers, shall we?
Born in the '50s
Vince Neil, born Vincent Neil Wharton, was born on February 8, 1961. That's right, folks. He's a '61 baby. Now, I know what you're thinking. "But how can that be? He doesn't look a day over 40!" Well, I hate to break it to you, but that's just the magic of rock 'n' roll. Or maybe it's just really good genes. Either way, Vince is currently in his late 50s, and he's showing no signs of slowing down.
Must Read
I mean, have you seen the guy's Instagram? He's always posting pictures of himself working out, looking like he could still give Tommy Lee a run for his money in a drum-off. And let's not forget, he's still touring with Mötley Crüe, even after their "final" tour in 2015. So, if you're wondering if Vince Neil is still got it, the answer is a resounding yes.
Still Kicking
Now, I know what you're thinking. "Sure, he's still touring, but is he still partying like it's 1985?" Well, according to Vince himself, he's cleaned up his act quite a bit. He's even written a book about his sobriety called "Tattoos & Tequila: To Hell and Back with Mötley Crüe." So, while he might still be rocking out on stage, he's not doing it with a hangover anymore.
Motley Crue Vince Neil
And let's not forget about his other ventures. Vince has his own vineyard, called "Mötley's Republic," and he's even dabbled in acting, with roles in movies like "The Last Show on Earth" and "Sharknado 2." So, even if he wasn't still touring with Mötley Crüe, he'd still be keeping busy.
So, What's the Point?
I guess the point is, Vince Neil is still out there, doing his thing, and he's not letting a little thing like age stop him. And that's something we can all aspire to, right? I mean, who among us doesn't want to be rocking out on stage in our 50s, looking like a million bucks and feeling like a million bucks too?
So, the next time you're at a Mötley Crüe concert, or even just listening to their music at home, remember that you're listening to a man who's been doing this for over 40 years. And he's not slowing down anytime soon. So, here's to you, Vince Neil. Keep on rockin' in the free world.
