NEWS – Guns N’ Roses’ Encore Cut Short at Reading Due to Late Arrival

Way back when, Guns N’ Roses were the biggest rock group on the planet and frontman Axl Rose could do whatever he wanted. Drugs, internal conflicts and over-bloated follow-up albums have since diminished their effect but still Rose continues with new members, attempting to recapture their glory days. Whilst a recent announcement on Rose’s Twitter page claimed that the group would not be performing in the UK, Guns N’ Roses took to the stage last night to headline the first day of the long-running Reading festival, but events did not go as planned. According to MTV, the group arrived on stage an hour later than scheduled and were cut short during their encore as it had reached midnight and the festival was due to wrap up for the day. Rose then tried in vein to prompt the audience to sing along to the remainder of the song, their ’80s hit Paradise City, without music but were eventually forced to walk off the stage.
