Guns N Roses frontman Axl Rose has praised fans at Reading and Leeds festival after controversy surrounding his band at both events. The band were late for their headline slot at both Reading on Friday night and Leeds two days later, with their set having to be cut short on both occasions.

After criticising organisers for not letting his band perform after the set curfews, the singer said festival-goers who watched their headline slot at both sites were “amazing.” The band are set to return to the UK for an arena tour this October.

Guns N Roses tickets are on sale now for shows at London’s O2 Arena on 13th and 14th October, Birmingham LG Arena on 17th October and Manchester MEN Arena on 18th Octobguns ner.
