A woman in Adelaide was badly bruised after being hit on the noseThe woman, Rebecca Howe, suffered bruising to her face and warned other fans to duck for cover after the incident on Tuesday at Adelaide Oval.
On Saturday morning, Rose posted on Twitter that he would no longer throw microphones into crowds after hearing of Ms Howe's predicament."If true obviously we don't want anyone getting hurt or to somehow in anyway hurt anyone at any of r [sic] shows anywhere," he wrote. "Having tossed the mic at the end of r [sic] show for over 30 years we always felt it was a known part fo the very end of r [sic] performance that fans wanted and were aware of to have any opportunity to catch the mic.
"Regardless in the interest of public safety from now on we'll refrain from tossing the mic or anything to the fans during or at r [sic] performances."The ABC has contacted Guns N' Roses for comment but has not heard back. This was not the first time Rose's mic-launching stunt has ended in pain — in 2013, a Perth man was hit in the mouth by a microphone Rose threw.Posted
Welcome to the jungle
How many microphones did he throw to black both eyes and the bridge of the nose?
Lessons were learnt.
Guns and Fu$&en Roses man! c’mon ya should be grateful you were the chosen one to cop a mic in the face. Good story for the grandchildren 🤘
Jeez, she's lucky she never went to a Birthday Party gig.
Axl just set up Kaeclius' origin story
play stupid games (pay money to see guns n roses) win stupid prizes (get a mic thrown into your face)
Luckily she wasn’t at a cricket game
Should’ve stayed in the kitchen shazz.
Seriously? How can she not see it coming. Charter boat what charter boat
what a pr!k
Great because my wife and kids will be there tonight in Melbourne.
Lol cant have nice things. Most fans would be HONOURED to have those war wounds.
I wonder if South Australia Police are investigating whether to charge him with Recklessly Causing harm?
Why not cancel them altogether, ABC? Clearly they are a danger to public safety.
You wouldn't even expect this at a Black Eyed Peas concert
Wow. Perhaps just use rubber mic for this
Sounds like he's gearing up for a defence for an incoming lawsuit. The ' Everybody Knew we do it' defence.
Why complain? Seems she's got the full experience...✌️😎
Adelaide, why so unco?
This was during their 'Fall Tour Of Australia', in November / December right? Not the smartest band on the circuit.
I'm guessing that's a Shure SM57 Cardioid Dynamic wound? Could be a SM58, but probably not..
This is why we can't have nice things. A true Gunners fan would get those scars tattooed permanently on. 😉
Gunners…..
Bahaha!
