Motley Crue's Vince Neil has been rushed to hospital suffering from "internal pain".

The 'Girls, Girls, Girls' group were playing a gig in Sydney, Australia today (March 10) when they were forced to cut their set short in order for the singer to be taken to hospital to receive treatment.

The band are currently touring down under with Kiss and Thin Lizzy. They were playing a second night at Sydney's Allphones Arena on Sunday when the singer fell ill with suspected kidney stones.

There is currently no information regarding Neil's current condition, however, bandmate Nicki Sixx tweeted the following:

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.

Guitarist Mick Mars added:

Sydney, my apologies for a short set this evening. Vince had an attack of kidney stones. He went straight from stage to the hospital.

Last year, Vince Neil opened his own strip club in Las Vegas, which he named after Motley Crue's hit single 'Girls, Girls, Girls'. The singer has had a turbulent few years and served a two week prison sentence in 2011 after pleading guilty to drink driving.
