Guns N' Roses Concert Postponed Over Alarming Reason: Performance Rescheduled Due to Unspecified 'Illness' [Details]

Due to an unidentified illness among the band, Guns N' Roses has postponed their Saturday, September 9 show at Busch Stadium in St. Louis.

The event at the stadium, which can accommodate 46,000 people for concerts, is getting rescheduled.

"Please hold onto your tickets as the event organizer is currently working to reschedule the concert," a St. Louis Cardinals official told Fox 2 KTVI in a statement.

The organizer also promised that as soon as the event's status changes or a new date is announced, fans can get a notice.

The Cardinals front office and Guns N' Roses have not provided more details on the individual's ailment or its severity. On Friday afternoon, Fox 2 KTVI posted on YouTube a video of the concert stage being hauled down at Busch Stadium.

Lead singer Axl Rose, 61, expressed regret for acting like "a little horse" during one of their shows in New York earlier this month, but the concert went on.

The band, which includes St. Louis resident Richard Fortus on guitar, Frank Ferrer on drums, Melissa Reese on keyboards, Duff McKagan on bass, Slash on guitar, Dizzy Reed on keyboards, and Axl Rose on lead vocals, last performed in the city in 2017 at the Dome at America's Center.

Since the infamous "Riverport Riot," which occurred at Guns N' Roses' July 2, 1991 performance at the former Riverport Amphitheatre (now known as Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre), the band has had a tense relationship with St. Louis. When Rose saw that a photographer was taking images of the concert even though it was against the rules, things became tense.

After yelling at security to get the camera, Rose finally leaped into the throng and started punching individuals. Rose eventually got pulled out of the brawl by crew members and made his way back to the platform, where he slammed the microphone down and declared that he's going home.

After the show, some supporters didn't take long to lose control and begin pulling out chairs and hurling equipment from the stage. Rose later said that members of the band had reported been hit by bottles thrown by attendees, and that the Guns N' Roses security team had asked the venue's security personnel to remove the camera four times in a row, but they had been turned down each time.

After that, GNR was prohibited from performing in St. Louis.
