Update: Just Kidding, Vince Neil Says He Isn’t Playing The Inauguration, After All

News Came Hours After Confirming Appearance

If you were looking forward to seeing Vince Neil jam “Home Sweet Home” at President-Elect Trump’s inauguration in January, you won’t be getting your wish: Vince is no longer performing at the inauguration after all. The news came just hours after the former Mötley Crüe frontman raised more than a few eyebrows and made headlines with the surprising announcement that he’d been tapped by the Trump campaign months ago to perform at the inauguration.

Neil appeared in a video on TMZ later that same day stating that he’d since been ‘uninvited’ from the big event, leaving us just as confused as we were when the whole ride began:

“It turns out, when the Republicans won, we were uninvited. I didn’t know about the Democratic [party] part of asking us to play, I just assumed… it doesn’t matter who won, it’s still a big party, right? But I guess it’s not, I guess there’s more politics involved in bands playing than I really thought there was.”

A little strange, sure, but these things do happen. Hats off to Vince for being so gracious and having a great attitude towards being bounced from the inauguration – whose main performer still has yet to be revealed. Stay tuned!
