Guns N' Roses: Australian Dates To Go Ahead As Scheduled

LOS ANGELES (Geffen Records) - According to promoter Paul Dainty has confirmed that the GUNS N' ROSES Australian dates will go ahead as scheduled.

"Only the Japanese dates have been changed," Dainty told Undercover News. They have 70 dates this year and they are airing on the side of caution".

GUNS N' ROSES, in a badly worded press release issued today, inferred that the group's entire tour was to be delayed, which put the Australian dates in question but that will not be the case. "GUNS N' ROSES have announced that they are postponing the start of their world tour which was due to start in Japan," it read.

Dainty spoke with injured GN'R bassist Tommy Stinson today. "The guy is so embarrassed," Dainty said. "He walked down a couple of steps and fell over. He put out his had to protect himself, as you do, went to bed and when he woke up it was swollen."

To clarify the position, only Japan will be affected. The Japanese dates which were going to happen from April 14 have been moved to July.

The tour will now start in South Africa on April 27 and then head to Australia on June 10. The first Australian date is in Perth at Burswood Dome and will be followed with dates in Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney and Auckland.

Special guests on the tour will be ROSE TATTOO and SEBASTIAN BACH. One more local act is still to be announced.
