GUNS N' ROSES - Former Keyboardist CHRIS PITMAN Sues AXL ROSE Over Unpaid Debt
September 14, 2016, 8 years ago
According to a report filed by TMZ, former Guns N' Roses multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Chris Pitman claims that frontman Axl Rose owes home more than $163,000 based on a promissory note for $125,000 that was due to be paid up in 2012. Pitman joined the band in 1998 and left earlier this year.
Pitman famously called out plans for G'N'R's Not In This Lifetime reunion tour when news began circulating he was no longer in the band, calling it a "nostalgia tour."
Guns N’ Roses grossed a whopping $116.8 million during the North American leg of its Not In This Lifetime tour that hit the road for nine weeks this summer, reports Billboard.com.
G'NR’s North American tour kicked off on June 23rd and included a total of 21 stadiums, wrapping on August 22nd. The nine-week jaunt was attended by more than one million fans at 25 performances. The tour heads to Latin America next with concerts booked in 11 cities during the fall, and then Asian and Australian dates are on tap for early next year.
