Vince Neil has been hospitalized due to kidney stones.

Mötley Crüe's concert in Sydney was cut short on Sunday when the frontman was rushed to the hospital after suffering from kidney stones, CNN reports. 

"He has been having problems for the last few days with kidney stones," Allen Kovac, the band manager's manager, said. "He was treated at the hospital after the show. It's the middle of the night there, and we will know more later."

After ending their concert early due to Neil's condition, bassist Nikki Sixx posted a message to the band's fans on Twitter. "Sorry Sydney for a short set tonight but Vince had to be rushed to the hospital for internal pain. Will update you on his progress," he wrote

Guitarist Mick Mars also tweeted about Neil's condition, writing, "Vince had an attack of kidney stones. He went straight from stage to hospital."

Kovac said the band's next show on their Australian tour, in Brisbane on Tuesday, is still scheduled.
