Guns N’ Roses Postpones Concert in St. Louis Due to Illness

Guns N’ Roses fans in St. Louis were left disappointed when the band postponed their concert at Busch Stadium with the Pretenders due to illness. Tens of thousands of people were eagerly anticipating the event this weekend, only to learn that it would be rescheduled.

A statement from the St. Louis Cardinals assured fans that the event organizer is working diligently to reschedule the concert. Ticket holders were advised to hold on to their tickets, and they will receive an update via email as soon as the new date is announced. In addition, fans who are unable to attend the rescheduled date will be eligible for a refund.

The Cardinals did not disclose details about the nature of the illness or the severity of the condition. However, lead singer Axl Rose previously hinted at health issues after a concert in New York, where he mentioned on Twitter that he was feeling “a little horse.”

The concert stage at Busch Stadium was being set up for the anticipated performance before the postponement. The next stop on the tour is in Knoxville, Tennessee, on September 12, featuring special guests Dirty Honey.

Guns N’ Roses has had a turbulent history with St. Louis, particularly highlighted by a past incident in 2016 when the band dropped their stop in the city. Speculations rose that it may have been part of an April Fool’s joke, coinciding with the 25-year anniversary of the “Riverport Riot.” However, the band made a triumphant return in 2017, marking their comeback to the city since the controversial brawl.

An infamous incident occurred during a Guns N’ Roses concert at what is now known as the Hollywood Casino Amphitheater in 1991. A photographer defied the no-photography rule, prompting Rose to call for security to remove the camera. Ultimately, Rose himself leaped into the crowd, leading to chaos as fans started causing destruction at the venue.

The band’s relationship with St. Louis has been eventful and tumultuous over the years, but their loyal fans remain eager for the rescheduled concert at Busch Stadium. Stay tuned for more updates on the new concert date and be sure to hold on to your tickets for the upcoming electrifying performance by Guns N’ Roses and the Pretenders.
