Motley Crue lead singer Vince Neil is recovering from a leg injury after slipping off stage during a performance.

The band was about five songs into the concert Friday night when Neil leaned over to sing along with the audience and slipped off stage, said police spokeswoman Sylvia Abernathy.

"I just felt something snap in my leg," Neil wrote on the band's Web site. "I just couldn't go on." The band was forced to end the concert early. Neil was treated at Piedmont Hospital and released Saturday, hospital spokeswoman Diana Lewis said.

You Said

I can't believe they're going to be here this week and I haven't gotten tickets.

Today marks 20 years to the day of my first concert ever.

Who was it? Motley Crue.

Any word on how his injury will affect their tour? I heard today it is a torn calf muscle, much worse than a broken leg. I guess he could just stand there and and rock out.

I heard the tour is going on; no dates will be missed.

I know Aerosmith played a concert in South Bend a few years ago where Steven Tyler was in a walking cast. Given how physical he is on stage, he was able to sing; just not do his jumping around.
