Motley Crue's Vince Neil has revealed he's been uninvited from singing at Trump's Inauguration
Last week the 55-year-old rocker revealed he and his band had been vetted for the inauguration.
Speaking to Billboard he said: “The promoters asked if I was available, and I said yes.
“So we sent all of the band’s passports to the Secret Service so everybody can get in, and all of the crew people, not knowing who was winning. But we were already scheduled to play.”
Now Neil, who had a fight with Nicholas Cage earlier this year, has revealed on Twitter that his invitation to perform has been withdrawn, because Hillary Clinton lost the election.
Vince Neil was frontman of Motley Crue from 1981-2015
For those of you who don't get it! I was invited several months ago to play. No one knew who was even going to be running for president.

Now that Trump won, I was uninvited. So I am not playing. Case closed!

Some of the music industry’s biggest stars perform at the Presidential Inauguration every four years.
At Barack Obama’s Second Inauguration in 2013 Beyonce sung The National Anthem, while Kelly Clarkson performed My Country ’Tis of Thee.
Other musicians for President Trump’s big day on January 20th are yet to be confirmed, however Mick Jagger joked about playing.
When Trump was announced the winner, Jagger tweeted: “Just was watching the news.
“Maybe they’ll ask me to sing You Can’t Always Get What You Want at the inauguration.”

The Rolling Stones star was referencing his song, which was played as Trump made his victory speech in the early hours of November 9.
One contender to perform is rapper Kanye West, who recently revealed he did not vote.
He said: “I told y’all I didn’t vote, right? But if I would have voted, I would have voted for Trump.”
Even if he does perform for Trump, West could be up against the new President in 2020, having previously announced he will stand.
