Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil has been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol.

Neil, 49, was stopped by police in Las Vegas in the early hours of Monday (June 28) morning.

He is currently being held at Clark County jail pending a court appearance, police told the Associated Press.

No other details are available at this time.

Neil has had previous trouble with the police, including a reported assault against a nightclub employee in 2004.

Motley Crue are scheduled to play the Sonisphere festival in Knebworth next month.
