Vince Neil spent his Sunday in Australia doubling over in pain and cutting his concert short, thanks to kidney stones. (Kidney stones sent by the DEVIL.) Now he’s back up and going to Brisbane for the next Motley Crue show tomorrow night, because what the Devil takes away in kidney stones, he more than makes up for in unholy stamina for the power of rock.

Here though, let’s examine the story of Vince Neil’s kidney stones, as told by the members of Motley Crue.

Tommy Lee, blissfully unaware of any trouble brewing.

Sorry Sydney for a short set tonight but Vince had to be rushed to the hospital for internal pain. Will update you on his progress.

Nikki Sixx is on the case, as you’d imagine someone who had a crippling heroin addiction would be.

Sydney, my apologies for a short set this evening. Vince had an attack of kidney stones. He went straight from stage to the hospital.

The normally reticent Mick Mars managed to send a Tweet from his darkened room rigged with copper telegraph wiring.

That’s adorable Tommy, but we’ve kind of got a situation going on here.

.@thevinceneil is in surgery right now.He’s a true warrior. I’m gonna write a full update on Facebook.Been texting with Vince all night.

— Nikki Sixx (@NikkiSixx) March 11, 2013

It’s either constant Twitter vigilance or Nikki starts diving for a tie-off.

Just out of surgery. Spent night in hospital probably have to again tonight. Thank you all for the kind words and prayers.

Doc says I should have a full recovery and be back onstage for the Brisbane show tomorrow. Thanks to my bandmates and crew for your support!

That’s remarkably chipper for someone who just had to undergo surgery in a country that treats medicine with the same cavalier disregard for safety as it does for swimming with stingrays.

It’s amazing drummers can even dress themselves. That’s why so many of them are shirtless.
