Guns in Brazil drama

Guns N' Roses were forced to cancel a show in Brazil on Sunday after freak wind damaged the venue.


The rock veterans were due to appear at the Apoteose Stadium in Rio De Janeiro, as part of their ongoing tour of South America.

The decision followed heavy rains and winds, which caused serious structural problems to the stage.

Axl Rose posted a message online confirming the drama and revealing plans to reschedule the concert.

"Fortunately (there) are no fatalities but there are injuries from both our camp and Rio crews the extent of which is not known at present," he said on Twitter.

The news follows the band's decision to pull another gig in the early hours of Friday in Sao Paulo, prompting furious scenes amongst fans.

"The audience got angry and started to mount the stage, and fight and destroy everything. It was wild," explained a source.

"There were fights everywhere, on the dance floor, in the bathrooms, outside the club. Crazy. I guess the free drinks didn't help," they said of the private show.
