MOTLEY CRUE - COSMETIC SURGERY PROMPTS VINCE NEIL TO GET FIT

MOTLEY CRUE frontman VINCE NEIL credits a gruesome reality TV show he shot a year ago (03) for saving his life and getting him back into shape.

As the rocker prepares to head back out on the road next year (05) after reuniting with his bandmates, Neil admits he's in the best shape of his life - thanks to a show he agreed to make around his plastic surgery.

The show, THE REMAKE OF VINCE NEIL, followed the rocker as he underwent a facelift and the whole process inspired him to shape up.

He says, "They spent like nine hours on my face and they kinda lit the fire under my butt to get back in shape and eat right, do the stuff and look better and sing better and the whole thing that goes along with it."
