Axl Rose had to sleep in Spurs stadium after cancelling show on 'medical advice'

Axl Rose revealed he had to sleep at Tottenham Hotspur stadium after cancelling a Guns N' Roses gig on 'medical advice', according to reports.

The band performed in London on Saturday after the rocker, 60, told fans he was too ill to return to his five star hotel with the rest of the band.

The Sweet Child O' Mine hitmakers had to pull out of their gig on Glasgow today after Axl is said to be still struggling with his voice.

The singer is said to have told the audience on the weekend: "As you can tell, I am having a few issues, these shows are really important to us, I slept here last night.

"So I'll be switching the songs around vocally, I hope you don't mind. I'd really like to keep going," reports The Sun.

The latest statement on the band's official social media pages confirmed the cancellation of their Scottish show today.

It reads: "Sadly, due to illness and medical advice, GN'R will not be able to perform in Glasgow, tomorrow 5-July-2022."

Guns N' Roses has promised to reschedule the show and asked fans to hang onto their tickets.

"We are working on rescheduling options for this show so please hold onto your tickets and wait for a further update. We appreciate your understanding and patience," they said.

Despite their obvious disappointment, fans flocked to the comments section all wishing Axl a speedy recovery.

One said: "Get well soon @axlrose! We love you."

While another wrote "Hope your vocal chords recover soon."

News of the cancellation comes after reports fans were left waiting two hours to get into the show in the capital.

The Live or Let Die stars played two nights at the London stadium, but due to the delay, opening act Gary Clark Jr. couldn't perform.

The Mirror has contacted Axl's representatves for comment.

The rockers are next scheduled to play at the Olympic Stadium in Munich, Germany this Friday, which fans desperately hope will go ahead.
