This week, Guns N Roses have begun their much-anticipated US tour. Axl Rose faced a hiccup in breaking his foot, but luckily, Dave Grohl saved the day. While Rose rallied on to perform a full set with a broken foot, his later-cast foot was no performance barrier, as he borrowed Grohl's Game of Thrones-style throne, the very same throne which the Foo Fighters frontman used when he suffered a leg injury.
Still ornamented with rays of stage lights and guitar necks, the generous loan made a guest appearance at GNR's Las Vegas gig in the T-Mobile Arena. Rose even gave rightful credit where credit was due, telling the crowd: “I wanna thank Dave Grohl for this; it was very nice of him. I’ve got nothing to do with this,”
It was earlier reported that Rose fractured his metatarsals in between the Guns N’ Roses reunion tour. Rose tweeted a video of foot and ankle specialist Dr. Rachel Triche, explaining the surgery he underwent and the approximate month he’ll be required to wear the cast. “This is what can happen when you do something you haven’t done in nearly over 23 years,” Rose stated.

But it's evident that rock n' roll doesn't slow down for broken bones. Fans can expect a similar stage set-up and the return of the ‘Grohl Throne’ at GNR’s anticipated Coachella headline performance April 16 & 23.
