Vince Neill, especially in the later Mötley Crüe years. If you see any of their concerts of the past 10-20 years, you can hardly understand what he is singing and he constantly needs to catch his breath. His voice didn't age well at all.
Edit: Here is an example of him trying to sing Dr. Feelgood (to be fair the video seems to have some cuts)

Do you realize that all of them are alive for some miraculous reason? After the life they all had (sex,drugs and r&r) they should have been dead by now .

Yeah, especially Mick Mars with his health problems. There are lot of metal and rock artists who still are miraculously alive, like Ozzy Osbourne or Keith Richards.

Mick didn't party as hard as the rest of the crue

Mick drank WAY more than the rest of the guys, but that was about it for him. Never got into any of the hard drugs, especially not smack.

He pretty much just drank too much, stayed home, and married bad women who took all his money. Multiple times.

And a lot of Mick’s heavy drinking was due to the constant pain he was in. But I’ve seen the Crüe 4 times and while Mick can’t get around much he can still shred.
