As it turns out, Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl breaking his leg last summer has turned out to be a blessing for Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose. Rose has borrowed the elaborate throne Grohl constructed to finish out the Foo Fighters‘ touring last year after suffering the above-mentioned injury. As revealed yesterday, Rose recently broke his foot and is expected to be in a cast with limited mobility for a least the next month. Last night (April 09th) saw the official first proper arena show of the ‘classic era’ reunion of Guns N’ Roses in Las Vegas, NV, properly kicking off their ‘Not In This Lifetime Tour‘.
