Axl Rose Accosted by Belligerent Paparazzi at LAX
Lead singer of Guns N’ Roses unhurt in encounter with unruly photographers(Los Angeles) December 10, 2009 –
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.
Axl addresses a group of paparazzi about a particular photographer that was harassing a female member of his group, “touch her again, I’ll break his f***ing neck.”
It was right after that you can see the woman and the photographer getting into it and Axl flies in and feeds the guy a fist sandwich, landing the papper on his crapper. Axl kicks him while he’s down as the woman and others attempt to pull him away.
It’s been a loooooong slow decline for GnR and Axl and this incident will only make things…BETTER! Awesome! Hell yeah! Rock and Roll!!!! For the first time I feel a little motivated to give the Gun and Roses 2008 “comeback” album Chinese Democracy a listen!
