Axl Rose has taken a tumble. The Guns N' Roses singer appeared to slip onstage during the band's set at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, on Friday night.
The incident occurred during the extended instrumental section of Knocking On Heaven's Door – the second-to-last song of the band's main set – with Rose slipping as he skipped backwards before falling to the floor, losing his hat in the process.
The singer appeared to be surprised but unhurt, styling it out before returning to his feet, then fetching a towel to clean the stage in the manner of a basketball court cleaner using a sweat mop.
The day after the incident, Axl tweeted, "Thank you for all the best wishes and, if I hadn’t had the boots, the straps n’ everything I do for my ankles it would’ve been worse."
