TITLE: Axl Rose 'sued by former manager'

TEXT:

Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose is being sued by his former manager who claims the singer owes him nearly $2m (£1.3m), according to reports.

Front Line Management filed papers suing the musician in Los Angeles on Thursday, said the Associated Press.

Founder Irving Azoff has claimed he had a verbal agreement with Rose to receive 15% of the star's earnings for overseas performances.

Rose and his current management were unavailable to comment.

The legal action claims commissions are due on more than $12 million (£8 million) in earnings made by the musician.

Mr Azoff has represented musicians including The Eagles and Joe Walsh and is currently the executive chairman of Live Nation Entertainment, which recently merged with Ticketmaster.
