Mötley Crüe's Las Vegas residency has been delayed as a result of frontman Vince Neil's surgery.
The band revealed the postponement in a heartfelt Instagram post, where members sent their well wishes to Neil, 64, as he underwent a "required medical procedure."
"Mötley Crüe's Las Vegas Residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM, originally scheduled for March 28th- April 19th, 2025, is moving to September 2025 due to a required medical procedure recently advised by vocalist Vince Neil's doctors," the statement began.

"To all the Crüeheads who were looking forward to see us this Spring, I'm truly sorry. My health is my top priority so I can bring you the awesome shows you deserve, and I can't wait to return to the stage," Neil said.
"Thank you for all the well wishes that keep reaching me. Your support means more than you know."
Fellow bandmembers, Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee and John 5 shared a joint statement, writing, "Please join us in wishing Vince a speedy recovery.
"We are looking forward for him to get well again and to take over Vegas together in September. We can't wait to see you all out there, and thank you for your understanding and support in the meantime."
They assured concertgoers tickets from the original residency will "remain valid and be honored for the new September show dates."
It comes soon after the news Neil's girlfriend was injured in a deadly plane crash last month.

Rain Hannah Andreani, 43, was on Neil's private jet with her friend when a gear appeared to fail upon landing, causing it to collide with another at Scottsdale Airport.
Neil was not on the plane, a representative of his confirmed.
In a since-deleted social media post per Arizona's Family, Mötley Crüe revealed Andreani suffered non-life-threatening injuries in the crash, with TMZ reporting she had five broken ribs.

She was reportedly released from hospital on Wednesday. Her friend and the co-pilot were also injured in the crash on February 10.
However, the collision killed pilot Joie Vitosky, 78.
"I honestly, wholeheartedly believe that the reason those other passengers are alive – it's because of how he handled it yesterday," she said.

"It's a lot of stuff that can happen on a private plane. A lot of rich people, but he had a lot of people who needed something immediate."
An investigation was being made into the accident, with Neil relaying in a statement, "Mr. Neil's thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved, and he is grateful for the critical aid of all first responders assisting today."
