CRUE STAR NEIL LAUNCHES TEQUILA TIPPLE

MOTLEY CRUE frontman VINCE NEIL is following in rocker SAMMY HAGAR's footsteps by becoming a tequila tycoon. Neil launched his Vince Neil's Tres Rios beverage in Massachusetts earlier this month (Jun07). The Smokin' In The Boys Room singer added his name to the brand after becoming a fan of the Guadalajara, Mexico tequila. He says, "It's just good stuff... I like tequila." But the rocker is keen to promote a don't-drink-and-drive message as he promotes his new tequila brand after an alcohol-related car accident he was involved in back in 1984 left Hanoi Rocks star Nicholas Dingley dead. Neil says, "I don't endorse drinking and driving. I endorse driving responsibly. I made a tragic mistake that cost one of my dear friends his life."
