The remaining dates of Guns N’ Roses first tour since 1993 have been called off, according to officials at various U.S. arenas. The reasons for the cancellations were not immediately announced.
Word that the tour has been scrapped comes on the heels of frontman Axl Rose’s second no-show, which resulted in the cancellation of the band’s concert at First Union Center in Philadelphia on Friday (12/6).
According to news reports from Philadelphia, after opening act CKY played its set and DJ Mix Master Mike performed for about an hour, it was announced over the P.A. system that Guns N’ Roses wouldn’t be appearing.
Angry fans reportedly responded by throwing bottles, chairs and other items. Fights broke out, and five people reportedly were hospitalized. There were no reports of major injuries or of any arrests.
Last month, the tour’s Nov. 7 kick-off in Vancouver was canceled, which led to rioting at that venue.
