VINCE NEIL PONDERS EXIT FROM MOTLEY CRUE AFTER LAS VEGAS SHOWS ?????????

Vince Neil says he is seriously contemplating a split from Motley Crue after their run of concerts at the Joint in the Hard Rock Hotel from Feb. 3-19. “It’s not definite, but I am thinking seriously about it,” the Las Vegas resident said.

The news that Vince might be calling it quits comes on the heels of his 50th birthday this year, obtaining final divorce papers from his ex-wife Lia this past weekend and a long year of international touring with both Motley Crue and his solo band.

Vince and Motley Crue have just wrapped their most successful touring year yet of their careers coinciding with the band’s 30th anniversary, closing with a sold-out U.K. tour. Vince then jetted to his yacht in the Bahamas for a vacation, where he told me exclusively that he might not continue with the group after Las Vegas.

Vince had just returned from a fishing trip where he hauled in a 350-pound bull shark off Bimini and then let it go back into the Atlantic waters, saying, “I’m having a great time here -- I could stay a year! I’m sitting on my yacht, contemplating my future, and I'm not sure it will be with Motley Crue after Las Vegas. Great things are coming up and pushing me in another direction.
