Guns N' Roses cancel tour... maybe

2010-08-15 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 26 Comments
Guns N' Roses have cancelled their forthcoming European tour according to a post on frontman Axl Rose's Twitter.

The tweet reads: "All upcoming Guns N’ Roses dates are officially cancelled. Please contact your place of purchase for any refunds."

It is however suspected that the flame-haired singer's account may have been hacked. The band's official Twitter account (believed to be run by tour manager Del James) was updated hours later, casting doubt on whether or not the announcement was legitimate.

The official Guns N' Roses Twitter reads: "Well well well, you never can tell... We are looking into this tweet http://twitter.com/axlrose/status/21260607784 from the @AxlRose twitter account. Please keep up with us here on Facebook and Twitter for official word."

It is known that members of the band, specifically Ron Thal, have been unsatisfied with the slow pace of the band's touring schedule and regularly appearing on stage much later than billed, while the band have cancelled several tours in the past at short notice. Rose called off a European tour in 2001, claiming he had only found out about it on the internet.

I absolutely believe Axl could be crazy enough to do that.

Lol Axl Rose [2]

He probably just said that without asking or telling anyone, just decided that he didn't want to do it anymore.

that's actually great for the touring bands, because he pays them before the tour starts because they know he'll end it whenever he's feeling grumpy and irrelevant.

DELETING MY ARTICLE?!?! ETOEgewgnepgeqwmgopewq1?!!

no, I kid, this one is way better, I couldn't be bothered to write it out as thoroughly as this in all honesty.

I suspect this to be true, I'd think they'd have rectified it by now otherwise.

The only thing more pathetic and lame than Axl Rose is his twitter.
