Today legendary Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil turns 61! Neil has been a part of the band since its formation in 1981, although he departed for a short while in the early ’90s only to return again in 1996. To celebrate Neil’s birthday, here are a few fun facts you might not have known about the rockstar:

  1. You can visit Vince Neil’s Tatuado in Las Vegas for food, drinks, and karaoke.
  2.  In 1989, Neil had a small part in the film Police Academy 6: City Under Siege. However, the scene didn’t make the final cut.
  3. Vince Neil’s Daughter Skylar Neil passed away of cancer as the age of 4 on August 15th, 1995. In her honor, he founded the Skylar Neil Memorial Fund to raise awareness and funds for children’s illnesses.
  4. Vince Neil and Nikki Sixx’s clothing lines (Outlaw and Bad Bones) were sold for a time at the store “S’Crue” on Melrose in Los Angeles. Mötley Crüe opened the shop in 1998, but it closed in January 1999 when it was moved online.
  5. Neil worried that Motley Crue biopic The Dirt wouldn’t meet his expectations, but he was pleasantly surprised that it turned out even better than he hoped.
