A copy of the 28-page lawsuit filed by GUNS N' ROSES singer Axl Rose against his former manager, Irving Azoff's Front Line Management, can be viewed and/or downloaded as a PDF file at this location.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Rose claims in the lawsuit that Azoff tried to implement a scheme to force him to reunite with the original GUNS N' ROSES band members and, as part of the plot, failed to properly promote the "Chinese Democracy" album, lied about a prospective VAN HALEN super tour and mishandled the band's tour dates.

Rose was sued by Front Line Management in March for nearly $2 million dollars in unpaid commissions, according to the Associated Press. The company filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles, claiming that Rose owes the company $1.9 million, or 15 percent of the more than $12 million that Rose has earned from performances in Europe, Canada and South America, based on an oral agreement.

Azoff, considered one of the most powerful men in music, has managed the careers of artists such as the EAGLES and VAN HALEN, and at one point handled the affairs of Rose's former GUNS bandmates in VELVET REVOLVER.

He is widely credited with pushing Rose to finally complete and release the 2008 GUNS album "Chinese Democracy" after a 15-year delay.

Rose parted ways with Azoff at some point in the last year and has recently claimed that he was being handled by Doc McGhee, a veteran rock manager whose clients over the years have included KISS, BON JOVI and MÖTLEY CRÜE. However, KISS frontman Paul Stanley told Classic Rock magazine that McGhee is in fact not managing Rose nor GUNS N' ROSES.
