Report: GUNS N' ROSES Cancels South African, Australian Dates

April 20, 2007

According to South Africa's Tonight, GUNS N' ROSES have cancelled their appearance at the My Coke Fest music festival taking place in Johannesburg and Cape Town on April 27 and May 1.

GUNS N' ROSES have announced that they have postponed the start of their world tour due to an injury to bassist Tommy Stinson.

Stinson recently sprained his left wrist in a fall and the injury has not yet healed. As a result, GUNS N' ROSES will not make their two scheduled performances at My Coke Fest in South Africa at the end of the month. All other scheduled GN'R concerts (Australia, New Zealand and Japan) have also been postponed indefinitely.

"I feel so bad right now," Stinson previously said. "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 I went to see my doctor, and the bad is news is it's severely sprained and I may have done some ligament damage. I feel horrible.

"We'd like to apologize to our 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."
