INJURY FORCES GUNS N' ROSES TO POSTPONE CONCERTS

Guns N' Roses have announced that they are postponing the start of their world tour which was due to start in Japan.

The Japanese concerts are being rescheduled. Guns N' Roses will be able to make their two scheduled performances headlining the MyCoke festivals in South Africa at the end of the month.

"I feel so bad right now,” explains bassist Tommy Stinson. “I accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. I put my hand down to break my fall and heard a loud ‘pop.' The next morning my hand looked like a balloon. I went to see my doctor and while the good news is that it’s not broken, the bad is news is it’s severely sprained and I may have done some ligament damage. We had our last rehearsal a few days ago and shipped the gear to Japan and then this happened. I feel horrible.

"I'd like to apologize to our Japanese fans that were looking forward to seeing us and know that we will we see you all soon. Again, we'd like to sincerely thank our fans worldwide for their patience and support."

At least he didn't purposely fall down a flight of stairs. But yeah, trying to keep up with Fall Downstairsberg all right. Lyrical omens:
"You're falling down a stairwell, calling farewell anyone"
"arm and arm you fall into your day"

I hope this doesn't delay the release of Chinese Democracy.

Only in Replacements-world (or possibly Spinal Tap) could something like this happen.

Maybe this is Tommy "taking the fall" for Axl's reluctance to tour. The more I read about Axl, the stranger he gets.

December, 1987 - GN'R opens for Alice Cooper during December. Steven Adler injured his hand and was replaced by Fred Coury for some of the shows.

August 4th, 2005 - Velvet Revolver's last leg of their tour starts at the Soaring Eagle Casino in Mount Pleasant, MI. Matt Sorum, who had injured his hand, was replaced on this leg by Brian Tichy and Mark Schulman (shows from August 20th until September 17th).

Obvious ploy to make himself available for the Lindeen book thingie in St Paul in June.

Here's a photo I've been sitting on for a while.

It's from the Soul Asylum "Christmas" show two years ago, at First Ave.

I took a lot of photos that I haven't used for anything.

This is one of them . . .

Dang! I hope Chris doesn't end up with an eye injury from one of his paint brushes!
