highvoltage Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 PARIS — Police say Guns N’ Roses front man Axl Rose was robbed of three gold-and-diamond necklaces worth some $200,000 after the hard rock band’s concert in Paris.A Paris police spokesman said Wednesday that the lead singer of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame-inducted band was fuming after the theft during a private gathering after the band’s show at Bercy stadium the previous night.Judicial police have opened an investigation but the spokesman said it didn’t appear Rose was wearing the necklaces at the time. The spokesman spoke on condition of anonymity because of office policy.The group’s website says they are scheduled to play in Moenchengladbach, Germany, on Friday before returning to France as part of a tour of Europe and Israel that runs through July 22.Source: http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/police-probe-theft-of-200000-worth-of-necklaces-from-guns-n-roses-singer-axl-rose-in-paris/2012/06/06/gJQAN37wHV_story.htmlThanks to ThinkAboutYou for the heads up!

spunko12345 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Falling off the table then having boots stolen and now this. Who was that person Axl used to have who used to sniff out bad vibes, Yoshi? Yoda? or was that Betas former role? Whatever, they need to start flexing those nostrils once more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
