GUNS N’ ROSES just completed the first of the two shows at Las Vegas’s new T-Mobile Arena. Axl Rose played the show with a broken bone in his foot. According to TMZ, the injury happened when Axl slipped onstage while singing “Mr. Brownstone” during last week’s show.
Rose had a special set on stage since he wore a cast – Dave Grohl’s throne that he used on FOO FIGHTERS’ 2015 tour after breaking his leg. Dave Grohl attended the show, and was filmed with Duff McKagan’s daughter Grace. Rose said before GN’R launched into “Rocket Queen”: “I wanna thank Dave Grohl for this; it was very nice of him. I’ve got nothing to do with this.”
GUNS N’ ROSES has five more concerts scheduled in April: two at the Coachella Music And Arts Festival, one in Las Vegas and two in Mexico City.
