McKagan sprung into action, calling Foo Fighters singer Dave Grohl to borrow the mobile rock throne he had built so he could continue that band's tour after breaking his own leg onstage in Sweden. In an interview with USA TODAY earlier this year, Grohl said that at the time McKagan called, he had just won a fight with an insurance company to keep the contraption, which he designed while "high as expletive " on pain meds following orthopedic surgery.
I just sat there laughing my butt off. What a ridiculous idea! But it actually worked. When the singer resurfaced, he said that he hadn't received adequate support from his record label. However, four years later, in March , it was announced that GNR would be reuniting for a city North American tour, with shows in Las Vegas, at Coachella and in Mexico City scheduled as a lead up to the highly anticipated event.
It turned out that fans were more than eager to see longtime band members Rose, Slash and McKagan reunite for the Not in This Lifetime The tour sold 4. Rose's personal life has been as rocky as his professional one. In he married Erin Everly, who later claimed that Rose had shown up at her house, threatening to kill himself with a gun in his car if she wouldn't marry him.
The marriage was annulled in early That same year he began dating supermodel Stephanie Seymour. They got engaged in but broke up soon after. Rose sued Seymour, claiming she assaulted him, and Seymour counter-sued, saying he attacked her and she grabbed him in self-defense. The case dragged on, but Rose ultimately settled out of court. Everly was called to testify during the case and filed her own suit against Rose for assault and sexual battery. Rose settled this case out of court as well.
Early in his life, Rose was diagnosed as manic-depressive and prescribed lithium, which he has since refused to take. He says he believes in homeopathic medicine and past-life regression. Rose has stated that his past-life regression therapy helped him recover memories of being sexually abused by his biological father at age two.
