Axl Rose took to Twitter to thank Guns N' Roses fans as the band wrapped their European tour. Blabbermouth reported, in addition to thanking the tour's special guest Carrie Underwood, Rose saluted late-Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins and dedicated the leg to him. He also used the opportunity to publicly slam Russian President Vladimir Putin calling him, “a callous, lying, murderous, little man.”
Axl Rose's tweet, which was posted in several parts, reads in full:
I'd like to thank everyone that came out to r shows in Europe!! U were AMAZING!! We hope u had fun n' hope to see u again sooner than later!! I also want to thank everyone in London for being so understanding of r challenges and apologize again to r fans in Scotland for having to postpone r performance there. Rescheduling or being forced to cancel rn't things that r done lightly especially with r fans, the size of the endeavor and everyone from the fans, the cities, the venue's, the promoters, the crews n' everyone involved taken very seriously into consideration.
