Guns N’ Roses reunion faces $108,000 fine
October 18th, 2010 - 1:55 am ICT by IANSLondon, Oct 18 (IANS) Bass guitarist Duff McKagan’s reunion with Guns N’ Roses here Oct 14 was marred after the band was asked to pay a huge fine for running the concert longer than the allocated time-slot.
The bassist, who recently quit band Jane’s Addiction, thrilled fans here at the O2 Arena when he reunited with his ex-bandmate Axl Rose to play a string of the group’s greatest hits.
But the rockers are now facing an estimated $108,000 fine from the venue’s officials for playing past the 11 p.m. curfew, reports thesun.co.uk.
An O2 Arena spokesperson confirms the band’s promoters will incur a fine for the late finishes, which totalled three hours over two gigs.
