Vince Neil mulling Motley Crue departure

LAS VEGAS, Dec. 22 (UPI) -- Rocker Vince Neil says he is "thinking seriously" about leaving Motley Crue after the band finishes a string of Las Vegas shows planned for February.

The 30-year-old group is scheduled to perform at the Hard Rock Hotel Feb. 3-19.

"It's not definite, but I am thinking seriously about it," Neil told the Las Vegas Sun.

He went on to say he is "contemplating my future, and I'm not sure it will be with Motley Crue after Las Vegas."

"Great things are coming up and pushing me in another direction," he told the Sun. "This is all about me thinking about the second half of my life, thinking about my future, and that future might not include Motley Crue after Vegas.

"There are so many opportunities that are in front of me that I'm really excited about. I just don't want to look back later in life and regret that I didn't pursue them. I'm just not sure I can give these opportunities the time and effort I'll need to and continue with the band. It's been a great ride, and I've enjoyed every second of it."
