Vince Neil‘s private jet was involved in a deadly crash at an Arizona airport … but the Mötley Crüe frontman was not on the plane. However, his girlfriend, who was traveling on the jet, survived … TMZ has learned.

Allen Kovac, Mötley Crüe’s manager, tells TMZ … Vince is safe and confirms he was NOT on the plane.

Sources close to the situation tell TMZ … Vince’s girlfriend, Rain, and her friend, Ashley were on the plane and are in the hospital. We’re told Rain broke 5 ribs, and the dogs the women were traveling with survived the tragic incident as well.

The incident happened Monday afternoon at Scottsdale Airport … with Vince’s plane crashing into another jet after veering off a runway upon landing.

Emergency personnel responded, and airport runways were temporarily closed during the investigation.

The plane’s registered owner is Chromed in Hollywood … a company known to be owned by Vince.

Diddy had a one night stand with a street performer … problem is, the guy says he was raped … at least according to a new lawsuit.

The Bad Boy Records founder is being sued by a John Doe who claims Diddy orally raped him and sexually assaulted him anally after spiking his drink.

In the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, the man claims he was singing and playing guitar on the street outside a popular Los Angeles nightclub in November 2022 when a man claiming to be a talent scout for Diddy invited him to a Diddy party.

Tony Buzbee, the Texas attorney representing 120 alleged Diddy victims, filed the suit.

The Village People are making a play for two of the biggest musical honors in the U.S. of A. — induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and a Kennedy Center Honor.

The V.P.’s Facebook page makes the case … “For those who doubt Village People brought influence on other artists, Rolling Stone’s song influenced by Village People. Clearly the group has had major influence on other artists, thus satisfying the prerequisite for inclusion [in the HOF].”

Fact is … the Village People have had a string of iconic hits, most notably “Y.M.C.A.,” which has had a resurgence courtesy of Prez Trump. But the list is long — “In the Navy,” “Macho Man,” “San Francisco,” “Go West” and “Can’t Stop the Music.”

As for influence on other musicians, Mick Jagger was so obsessed with “Y.M.C.A.,” it inspired him to do “Miss You,” one of the Stone’s biggest hits.

More than 800 fans have jumped on the group’s Facebook page to voice support for a Hall of Fame nod.

Here’s the deal … “Y.M.C.A.” is approaching half a billion streams on Spotify alone. When you add in Apple, the song’s closing in on a BILLION streams!

The song has been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame and selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Recording Registry … touting it as “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant.”

But wait … there’s more. Victor Willis and co. also are angling for a Kennedy Center Honor, and they may have an in. Trump has axed the Board of Directors and he’ll be the decision-maker on who gets the nod.

As we reported, Willis is threatening to sue comedian Jim Jeffries for claiming the song is code for sex. Willis says he fine if the gay community considers “Y.M.C.A.” a gay anthem, but calling it code for sex crosses the line. He’s demanding an apology.
