ROSE DEMANDS APOLOGY FROM FESTIVAL BOSS
GUNS N’ ROSES frontman AXL ROSE has demanded an apology from the organise r of Britain’s Reading festival following a bust-up over the band’s set o n Friday (27Aug10).
The rockers were left fuming after bosses pulled the plug early during their headlining slot at the annual event, forcing them to perform acoust ically and overrun their finish time.
Guitarist DJ Ashba went public with claims that the festival’s director , Melvin Benn, has long held a "grudge" against the band and branded him "cocky" and "money-grubbing" following the incident.
And now Rose has taken to his blog on Twitter.com to air his own grieva nces over the troubled set - and has urged Benn to apologise to festivalg oers over Friday’s "nonsense".
In a post on the microblogging website, he writes, "In regard to Readin g we feel at the very least the fans deserve an apology from those respon sible for the nonsense. We’d also like to thank the fans for being so gre at, singing along n’ not tearing the place apart!!" The band is scheduled to play at the twinned Leeds festival on Sunday n ight (29Aug10).
