Vince Neil of Motley Crue to Perform Saturday Night at Toyota Grand Prix of LB!
The concert, free to race ticket holders, begins at approximately 6:45 p.m. on the concert stage adjacent to the Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center.
Neil will be playing all the Motley Crue favorites, which include some of the greatest rock songs of this generation: "Home Sweet Home," "Girls, Girls, Girls," "Dr. Feelgood," "Kickstart My Heart" and "Same Ol' Situation."
Coming to Long Beach will be nothing new for Neil. In 1992, he got a taste of professional auto racing, competing in four Indy Lights races including a 17th-place finish in Long Beach.
Raised in Compton, Vince Neil fell in love with music as a child, developing a broad vocabulary that ranged from classic Motown to hard rock. As a teenager, he performed with local bands and fronted the popular band Rock Candy before reuniting with high school buddy Tommy Lee in 1981, sealing rock and roll history with the formation of Motley Crue.
"Being raised in Southern California and being a race fan, this has always been my favorite race," said Neil. "I am very excited to be a part of it, this is going to be ‘bad ass.'"
When not performing, Neil oversees a number of entrepreneurial efforts as well as The Skylar Neil Memorial Foundation (www.skylarneil.org), a tribute to his daughter whom he lost to cancer in 1995, which has raised more than $2 million to help combat childhood cancer.
