    Guns ‘n’ Roses appearance at Reading and Leeds in doubt

    Monday, August 16th, 2010

    The appearance of Friday night headliners at Reading  has been thrown into doubt after a short but sweet tweet by mainman Axl Rose suggested all UK tour dates would be pulled.

    “All upcoming Guns N’ Roses dates are officially cancelled. Please contact your place of purchase for any refunds” read the tweet posted late last night, UK time.  Fans will be hoping Axl is only playing with them, but others fear of deeper problems within the band.

    UKFests.com will give you more on this story as it unfolds.
