Blabbermouth — Axl Rose says that he is feeling “a lot better” after a probable case of “food poisoning” affected his vocal performance during GUNS N’ ROSES‘ concert Thursday night (September 16) in Chicago.
According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Axl “struggled often during” the show at Wrigley Field “to tether himself to a comfortable vocal range, especially straining to hit notes in his top register for the arena showdowns like ‘You Could Be Mine’ and ‘Sweet Child O Mine’.”
Earlier today, Rose shared the following message via the GN’R Twitter account: “A note to Chicago… I got to the show feeling great, but started getting sick pretty early on. It progressed to where I was throwing up & was light headed. Wouldn’t have been surprised if I’d fallen off the front of the stage. I’d b fine then not, fine again then not all night. Was pretty crazy but the crowd was great n’ I was in a great headspace n’ we had fun. Luckily the COVID test was negative. Def messed with my vocals in places. Just glad we got thru it n’ it didn’t mess with the show too bad. I’m a lot better now. Seems most likely to be food poisoning.
“Looking forward to Milwaukee!”
