GUNS N' ROSES Guitarist RICHARD FORTUS Reveals Postponed St. Louis Concert Now Cancelled

Guns N’ Roses were scheduled to perform at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Missouri on September 9, 2023. The day prior, September 8, GN'R issued the following statement:

"The concert scheduled for St. Louis on September 9 has been postponed due to illness. Hang on to your tickets – fans who are unable to make the rescheduled date will be eligible for a refund. Thank you for the support."

Earlier this evening, September 21, Guns N' Roses guitarist Richard Fortus made the following announcement via his personal social media outlets:

"To all of my hometown St Louis friends. Sadly, we were not able to find another date for us to make up the show at Busch Stadium, that worked for both the stadium and for us. I read this story by #fox2news saying that we’ve postponed “several fall concerts”. This is absolutely false. For the record, we have done 283 shows on this tour and only postponed one show and now, we have cancelled one. Unfortunately, it’s my hometown show, but just so everyone is clear, we do not take this lightly! We understand that some people bought hotels or air travel that might not be refunded. We are human though and sometimes humans get sick enough that it’s not possible to do what we do. Thanks for your understanding and we look forward to playing St Louis ASAP!"

Neither the official Guns N' Roses Facebook page or website have made any mention of the St. Louis show.

However, Axl Rose issued the following comment via Reddit: "I am, as is the band, really bummed we're forced to cancel our show in St. Louis. The history, the memories, the return and to share that bond with our fans. It sucks!"
