American Rock Band, Guns N’ Roses Cuts Show Short

American rock band Guns N’ Roses had to cut their set – in Abu Dhabi – short on Sunday, 25 November due to frontman Axl Rose being “severely ill.”

In footage of the show, filmed by a fan, the lead singer can be heard saying, “They’ve got me on IVs and a bunch of injections, because I got sick today, I’ve been throwing up for about the last five hours.

“So, instead of cancelling, I’m going to do the best show we can for you.”

The band performed nearly 20 songs before ending the show.

Thank you Abu Dhabi! @axlrose pulled a damn miracle…the man was beyond ill, and pulled off something I've never seen in my 40 yrs of playing. You all pulled him thru. Til next time!
