A number of news outlets are reporting that Guns N Roses frontman Axl Rose has been missing for two months.
Music-News.com reports: Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose has been missing for two months.
The eccentric rocker has infuriated bosses at record label Geffen after disappearing without promoting the band’s long-awaited "Chinese Democracy" album, which was released last week 15 years after the last Guns N' Roses LP.
A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "People have been trying to contact Axl for two months and he’s completely AWOL [Absent Without Leave].
"It is frustrating because the album would have had a much better chance of going to number one if he had only been prepared to show his face.
"You would have thought after spending all those years on an album you might do a few weeks of promotion. 'Everyone knows Axl is a bit of a maverick genius and won’t do anything he doesn’t want to.'"
As previously reported, "Chinese Democracy" debuted on the Billboard album charts at number 3. The album apparently sold 261,000 copies in its first week of release in the United States. So far, Chinese Democracy has only gone to number one in Brazil and Finland.
