What's exactly a strep?
Symptoms
The signs and symptoms of strep throat are red, sore throat with white or yellow patches on tonsils, swollen lymph nodes in the neck, fever over 101 Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius), headache, extreme shaking/shivering, and cold sweats. Many patients also have difficulty swallowing and talking. Nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain are more common in children. Cough is infrequent in older patients, but younger children may experience cold-like symptoms including stuffy noses and sneezing similar to many viral infections. The onset of a rash may be a sign of scarlet fever.
Transmission
The illness is caused by the bacterium Streptococcus pyogenes and is spread by direct, close contact with patients via respiratory droplets (cough or sneezing). Casual contact rarely results in transmission. Rarely, contaminated food, especially milk and milk products, can result in outbreaks. Untreated patients are most infectious for 2-3 weeks after onset of infection. The incubation period, the period after exposure and before symptoms show up, is difficult to establish as some people don't become symptomatic. However, it is thought to be about 1 week.
Diagnosis
The throat of the patient is swabbed for culture or for a rapid strep test (5 to 10 min) which can be done in the doctor's office. A rapid test tests for the presence of typical bacterial antigens in the swab, which are detected by specific antibodies provided in the kit. If the rapid test is negative (that is, normal) or inconclusive, a follow-up culture (which takes 24 to 48 hours) may be performed. A negative culture suggests a viral infection, in which case antibiotic treatment should be withheld or discontinued.
In the UK, rapid strep testing is not available to general practitioners and a clinical decision must be made whether to treat while waiting up to 7 days for a swab result to be reported, treat without confirmation from tests, or wait for confirmation. This is criticized for encouraging overuse of antibiotics (see antibiotic resistance).
Treatment
Antibiotic treatment will reduce symptoms slightly, minimize transmission, and reduce the likelihood of complications. Treatment consists of penicillin (orally for 10 days; or a single intramuscular injection of penicillin G). Erythromycin is recommended for penicillin-allergic patients. Second-line antibiotics include amoxicillin, clindamycin, and oral cephalosporins. Although symptoms subside within 4 days even without treatment, it is very important to start treatment within 10 days of onset of symptoms, and to complete the full course of antibiotics to prevent rheumatic fever, a rare but serious complication. Other complications that can occur include an ear infection, sinus infection, or an abscess on the tonsils (peritonsillar abscess).
Penicillins should be avoided for treatment of a sore throat if bacterial (swab) confirmation has not been obtained since it causes a distinctive rash if the true illness proves to be viral. This rash is harmless but alarming. The most common virus responsible for strep like symptoms is glandular fever, better known as mononucleosis. Typically, antibiotics such as clindamycin or clarithromycin will be prescribed if there is any doubt as to whether the infection is bacterial as it does not cause a rash in the presence of a virus.
In addition to taking antibiotics, other ways to relieve strep symptoms include drinking plenty of water, taking nonprescription medications (such as ibuprofen) for throat pain and fever reduction, and getting plenty of rest. Also, gargling with saltwater (1/4 teaspoon of table salt in 8 oz. warm water) can help relieve throat pain.
So says Wikipedia...

Sorry to everyone who planned on attending, but like others have said - this can be serious if left untreated. Axl has obviously done the last few shows sick as a dog. He wouldn't have canceled if he didn't absolutely have to.

Yeah, I noticed at the Detroit show the other day he was really blowing his nose a lot and althout he had his usual amount of energy, I noticed that he might have had a cold or something. That sucks about the Milwaukee show..get well soon Axl!

It was probably the cold, dry air in Canada that triggered the illness. IMHO anyway,

OK since Milwaukee's a no-go, I just bought two front row tickets for Reno in January. And I'll have a seat there which is cool. Merry Christmas to me!

Axl, I can fully relate to an ear infection, had a double one myself after I saw you in Lisbon, and before I saw you in Vegas, so truley rest is the cure, get plenty of it.
Sorry to all the Chicago fans, surely the band will come your away again, hang in there, show the band you guys are sad but tuff and that you understand how Axl must be feeling, show Axl "Sympathy" not the "Devil".
Sooo YOU"RE the FUCKER who got axl sick!!!!! DAMN YOU!!!

Aww, ear infections can be horrible and mess up your equilibrium. I had one years ago and had to spend a few days in a dark room on some really nasty medication. Between that and the strep I can't even imagine how he has been performing with that.
Sorry for all you guys that got your show cancelled though.
Axl feel better!

I had a really bad case of strep throat my sophomore year of high school. I think I was out for about two weeks straight - and that's WITH plenty of rest. I certainly wouldn't want to go through that again.

So that explains the bad reviews the last couple of shows received. It's impossible to give your best performance if you're sick.
Get well soon Axl!

This makes me very angry. From everything thats every happen in the past, this just sounds to unreal. We GNR fans (me not so much NE more) have been treated like crap are hole lives by this man. And now this. Think what the General public will have to say about this. It's cool to be a GNR fan, but when 90% of the Rock N Roll comunity thinks the band you like is a joke, is a little embarrassing. If he cancels any more shows I'm affrade he is doomed along with Chin Dem.
But NEway, Get well soon AXL
The Rolling Stones cancelled a few shows due to illness, does anyone think they are a joke because of this?
Strep is no joke. Especially when you are a singer. Granted they don't remove tonsils like they used to but getting that kind of infection is not fun and can be dangerous, not to mention painful. The only thing that can be done is medication and rest, the illness has to run it's course. If Axl doesn't stop and rest now it will only get worse and wind up with MORE cancellations in the future.
