Vince Neil in Recovery

Vince Neil

Following the surgery that had Motley Crue front man Vince Neil doubled over in pain just before their show in Sydney, Australia on Sunday, March 10, he is expected to rejoin the band as they prepare to rock Brisbane tonight. Bassist Nikki Sixx says it's not like Neil to cancel a show, it has him wondering just how painful those stones were

News station CNN was curious as well and managed to talk to Dr. Diane Sacco of the Massachusetts General Hospital's Kidney Stone Program about what happened. She described the condition in proper medical terms as hydronephrosis". She described the kidney stones and what they did, saying that they “block the flow of urine in the kidney, and it causes backup. And it’s an excruciating pain. A lot of people do describe it as worse than childbirth.”

Thank God this guy is recovering
