Axl Rose Denies Releasing Statement On Airport Fight

Axl Rose has slammed his former management team for releasing a statement without his knowledge.  

The Guns n Roses singer was last week involved in a scuffle at Los Angeles airport.  The video footage can be watched here.  

His representatives at Levine Communications released this statement -

"Axl Rose, lead singer for the legendary rock group GUNS N' ROSES, was unhurt last evening when he was accosted by an unruly group of paparazzi at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).

"At the time of the incident, Mr. Rose was en-route to Taipei, Taiwan, to kick off GUNS N' ROSES' tour of Southeast Asia including shows in Taiwan, Korea and Japan.

"Mr. Rose, who was about to enter a security checkpoint at LAX when the altercation took place, was approached by a group of unchecked and unruly photographers who became aggressive with the singer and female members of the traveling group.

"Mr. Rose was not injured during the unprovoked attack and was able to board his flight without further incident."

However, it seems that for some reason Mr Rose is unimpressed with this and issued his own statement from Guns n Roses Myspace which read - 

"I did not release any statement or authorize either any statement or anyone to release a statement regarding anything at any airport anywhere.

We had recently began working with newer individuals in management in relation to our current Asian tour in support of our Guns N' Roses album "Chinese Democracy" in addition to Irving Azoff's though as it happens we are once again touring Asia without management of any kind.

Imo this non sense may be some type of manufactured or publicity stunt.

We're looking forward to performing in Osaka and Tokyo Japan doubling our pyro show and with our "new" full stage as local requirement have limited us on its use in our last performances.

Thanks to everyone who's come out to see us. It's been really fun so far and the addition of our new guitarist Dj Ashba joining us along w/ guitarists Ron Bumblefoot Thal and Richard Fortus, gives the night a kick in the pants.

Hope to see the rest of you soon!!

And to any publications running this; please feel free to tack on whatever negative agenda supporting nonsense you generally do (You know who you are!!). After all it's only someone else's livelihood you media police state, no fun, spoil sport, communist bastards.

Peace!!"
