GUNS N' ROSES mainman Axl Rose has issued the following update on Twitter:
"We are in constant talks to ensure the fans attending Leeds get what they paid for without undue bureaucratic interference. We thank you for your understanding. Peace!!In regard to Reading, we feel at the very least the fans deserve an apology from those responsible for the nonsense. We'd also like to thank the fans for being so great, singing along n' not tearing the place apart!!"
As reported earlier by NME, organisers say Guns N' Roses will play Leeds Festival today (August 29) - despite their frontman Axl Rose's declaration that the band will not play after the plug was pulled on the band's late-running Reading Festival show.
Video footage of the frontman making the declaration at the end of the Reading set has emerged online – check it out below.
Rose said: "Unfortunately due to tonight we will not be at Leeds, although we will try and play a bit more now."
However, today a Reading And Leeds Festivals spokesperson told NME that the band were still scheduled to headline at Leeds.
As previously reported, Guns N' Roses' Reading Festival set ended in chaos on Friday (August 27), when the sound was cut after the band overran by more than an hour.
