Vince Neil finding it difficult to deal with his daughter’s death

Vince Neil’s daughter Skylar died at the age of 4 in August 1995 after months of battling cancer. He then founded the Skylar Neil Memorial Fund which raises money for cancer research in children.

Also, that time was one of the worst phases in his life since he was going through the divorce from the mother of Skylar, Motley Crue. Then he was into alcohol and drugs, additionally, he was angry and also felt like ending his life.

He said in 2001,

“I would stay at the children’s hospital as long as they’d let me, then I’d drive straight to Moonshadows in Malibu and get liquored up with the regulars until I couldn’t remember my own name. I knew it was wrong to be drinking at this time, but it was the only way I could keep from going completely crazy.”

Kidney stones

Kidney stones are small pebbles of salt and minerals which form in the urine. They could be due to different causes and a genetic element is also known. They could cause severe and excruciating pain similar to that of childbirth.

If the stone is big enough to obstruct urine outflow, it could cause backpressure changes and enlargement of the urinary tract above the stone; a condition called hydronephrosis. Treatment is by lithotripsy technique or surgery.
