Speaking with patients after Axl's visit, I got a real sense of just how excited they were to have met him and how much it lifted their spirits."The Teenage Cancer Trustis known for its strong links with rock music. Each year The Who singer Roger Daltrey produces a week of shows at the Royal Albert Hall, which this year featured Bloc Party and Razorlight.Source: http://www.nme.com/news/guns-n-roses/23880 Edited August 11, 2006 by jack99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack99 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 What's also a good thing is to see them report positive stuff like this as well instead of just the stuff like being arrested in Sweden. It's great to see this makes the news as well!Considering it's British Press Im extremely surprised. It must be some new guy on the job....
