Axl Plays One Gig with Guns ‘N Roses. Axl Breaks Foot. And Dave Grohl Comes to the Rescue. No, Really.

Axl Rose - Broken foot April 2016

This doesn’t bode well. One show into the Guns ‘N Roses reunion and Axl Rose already managed to break his foot. But leave it to GnR to have the hottest orthopedic doctor on the planet. (Via Kim and Michael)
