Axl Rose is not "Knockin 'On Heaven's Door", but he had to cut a show

The singer of Guns N 'Roses, Axl Rose, is not the man that he was "Yesterdays". At the height of the group's formation in the 80s and 90s, the leader of the group of legends of hard-rock would have a hard time finishing a complete show. While tantrums and riots tarnished Rose's reputation, the tickets for G & # 39; N & # 39; R constituted a risky purchase. It was like investing in a Lauryn Hill ticket in 2018: it will probably be great if they show up.

But current Axl is a different animal. He was the image of professionalism and "patience" during the multi-year "Not In This Lifetime" tour, which began with warm-up dates in April 2016 and two other dates remaining in South Africa and Hawaii. So, when he left the scene Sunday night in the "paradise city" of the United Arab Emirates, in Abu Dhabi, one would expect him to suffer a temporary return to the old way of living in Axl .

"Not so," says his group mates, who cut the talkin 'jive off the Internet and explained via Twitter that Rose was "seriously ill" but could still play through 20 songs of their planned 28-song ensemble .

"So they gave me infusions and a series of injections because I was sick today," said 56-year-old Rose at the concert, shown in a participant's video. "I have been vomiting for about five hours. So instead of canceling, I will make the best show possible for you. "

But "Do not cry." Axl has good reason to heal, and fast. In addition to finishing the tour of the Guns 'N' Roses, it seems that he comes back behind the microphone for AC / DC. Rose has sporadically lent her services to the group as a touring singer in recent years, after Brian Johnson was forced to retire from the show due to a hearing loss. Earlier this year, after announcing that the partnership between Angus Young and Rose, lead songwriter and perpetual schoolboy, would continue, Rose Tattoo band leader Angry Anderson confirmed that the pair were writing new material.

No word yet on what caused Rose's disease; a Spaghetti Incident has not been ruled out. Axl, as well as the fans in the front row, should be happy to know that it was "November Rain" and not "Mr. Brownstone ", if you catch our drift.
