Axl Rose might be feeling a little bit worse for wear right now, with footage emerging of the rocker taking a tumble during a recent Guns N’ Roses gig.
Just a couple of weeks ago, the music world was looking on in bemused horror as footage emerged of Lady Gaga falling offstage with a fan during her Las Vegas residency.
While the incident seemed to have arisen due to the fan in question being unprepared to lift the singer during a performance of ‘Million Reasons’, the footage spread far and wide, with many hoping both the fan and chart-topping artist were okay.
Now, it seems as though the curse of the slippery Las Vegas floor has struck again, with Axl Rose of Guns N’ Roses taking a fall during a recent gig.

As TMZ noted, Guns N’ Roses were performing at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace on Friday, November 1st when they arrived at the penultimate song of their main set; a cover of Bob Dylan’s ‘Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door’.
As Axl powered through the song, footage shows him attempting to spring backwards when his feet appear to slip out from under him, making him fall down onstage rather hard.

While he manages to get back up soon afterwards, it seems as though the culprit may have been a bit of moisture on the stage, with both Rose and a stagehand wiping the floor with towels to ensure such an incident doesn’t occur again.
Although the set finished as planned, we can only assume that Axl Rose and his ego were undoubtedly feeling a little bit bruised after the incident.
In related news, Guns N’ Roses are currently performing on their Not In This Lifetime tour in the US. The band recently made headlines after longtime fan Rick Dunsford was given a lifetime ban before their Kansas show last month, allegedly for leaking unheard demos from the group’s Chinese Democracy era.
