Axl Rose Has Broken His Foot But Guns ‘N Roses Tour Will Go On

Music fans everywhere are waiting, holding their breaths hoping that Guns ‘N Roses’ nigh “Not In This Lifetime…” tour does not implode. In video posted on the band’s Facebook, Rose’s orthopedic surgeon explained that the singer’s foot is in a cast and he is unable to put any weight on it. So far the band has played exactly one reunion show, the secret warm-up show that was limited to a few hundred audience members at the Troubadour in West Hollywood, CA.

@AxlRose: This is what can happen when you do something you haven’t done in nearly over 23 years, “Internal Fixation” (ง’̀-‘́)ง

The good news is, he will be able to continue on the tour, albeit in a less mobile manner with a modified stage set up. While this will prove to be a bit disappointing considering Rose’s legendary on-stage physicality, at least this set-back will not deal a death-blow to the most anticipated reunion concert in recent memory, maybe ever.
