The Flu and/or food poisoning really is the worst. good to see he is alright to go for the final 2 gigs and I like the "we'll be back".

Some articles, which I won't credit with a link, seem to be suggesting it was the result of a backstage Axl/Slash fight. Surprised it took as long as it did for those sort of clickbait sites to go down that route actually....

Sure, no links but what are the headlines reading though

Same here, I was expecting to see something but better late than never.

I don't buy it. If he was pissed, I think he would go on late or not at all. I don't think he would cut the set short like that. I also find it hard to believe that things would go smoothly for 2.5 years and then a bump in the road.

Apparently the source is The Sun, which is something of a tabloid in the UK. They claim a disagreement occurred over money. The %'s each of Slash, Duff and Axl made after expenses likely was legally memorialized before touring started, so I don't buy it would be an issue now all of a sudden.

Slash and Duff were immediately on social media defending Axl so this conflict story is a bit of a reach.

[Dr. Blutarsky]

I dont think Duff would have tweeted abt Axl what he did if there was any truth to the Sun article.

Fake news.

[Lord Stan]

I used to live in England for many years, I know all about The Sun

Many UK tabloids have actually a legal budget for running bullshit. Because even if they get sued they still make more money from those stories than the costs.

If this was 10 gigs in I would be a little worried but after 150+ without a hitch why do they even bother, a bunch of fuckin' idiots. They probably had a story ready from two years ago but never had a chance to use it because everything went so smoothly. So now's the chance.

And even if there was a problem about something as meaningless as money those ultimate professionals would've waited for a few weeks before putting the issue on the table.

This is how the business works just think about it. Here we are talking about The Sun in the middle of the night. This is exactly the response what they want

Yes. If Slash had an issue with Axl, he could have just not said anything at all instead of having his back.

I understand what you are saying, but I think that they don't even go out on one leg of this tour if the %'s for the GN'R Trinity aren't sorted out and agreed upon. I just don't see why it would be an issue now after 2.5 years and well over a hundred shows.

Yeah, and the Sun article makes it sound like exactly that -- that Slash and Axl were sparring over the payment for that one show on the very day the show took place.

I'm with you guys, smells like bullshit.

[jarmo]

Axl was sick. Rather than canceling, he tried to do a regular show.
