MÖTLEY CRÜE was forced to play an abbreviated set earlier today (Sunday, March 10) at Allphones Arena in Sydney, Australia during the band's tour with
KISS and
THIN LIZZY.
CRÜE bassist
Nikki Sixx writes on Twitter: "Sorry, Sydney, for a short set tonight but
Vince [
Neil,
MÖTLEY CRÜE singer] had to be rushed to the hospital for internal pain. Will update you on his progress." Guitarist
Mick Mars added: "Sydney, my apologies for a short set this evening.
Vince had an attack of kidney stones. He went straight from the stage to the hospital."
Neil played a show with
CRÜE in Toronto last September after sustaining two fractures in his foot during the previous night's concert in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.
MÖTLEY CRÜE last year released a brand new song called
"Sex" to coincide with the launch of the band's North American co-headlining tour with
KISS.
Written when the group was together during their residency in Las Vegas in February 2012,
"Sex" was the first studio track from the
CRÜE since their June 2008 release of
"Saints Of Los Angeles".
