Guns N Roses have yet again incurred the wrath of their fans by keeping them waiting until 10.30pm to start their show at Wembley Arena on Sunday night, with frontman Axl Rose later quitting the stage part way through the last song of the band's main set. As previously reported, Rose has frequently behaved in an erratic manner on the current tour, frequently leaving the stage, and when the band appeared in Newcastle, the gig had to be cancelled after fans, angered by the late running of that show, began throwing glasses at the group.
At the London show, the band were met with boos and slow hand claps before they finally took to the stage, while later Rose walked off during a rendition of 'Night Train', leaving guest Sebastian Bach, formerly of Skid Row, to complete the singer's vocal performance in that song, as well as for an encore rendition of 'Paradise City'
Manager Merck Mercuriadis appeared onstage at the end of the gig and read a short statement explaining that Rose was suffering from either "high-blood pressure" or "hypertension". The singer played an acoustic set at Koko at 4am on Sunday morning, just hours after playing a full set at Wembley on Saturday night, prompting speculation that he was not in a fit state to play at all by Sunday night.
