Children with autism had their very own “Unplugged” concert from rock and roll royalty when GUNS N' ROSES lead guitarist Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal treated them to an exclusive performance today.
The youngsters crowded on to the staircase at the Dubai Autism Centre to watch Thal appear with Nikhil Uzgare, the lead singer of the Dubai band POINT OF VIEW.
