According to local news reports, Rose punched a woman named Rebecca Howe when he threw his microphone at Guns N’ Roses’ Adelaide show. A photo shows that she suffered severe bruising on her face after the incident.

Last week, Rose issued a statement urging fans to stop flying drones over Guns N’ Roses concerts, explaining that the plane was a distraction to other fans and the band itself. Guns N’ Roses recently released a new Use Your Illusion I & II boxset and intends to hit the studio to work on new music soon.
