Axl Rose has come out and blasted UK festival organisers for pulling the plug on Guns N' Roses' Reading And Leeds Festival performances last weekend saying it wasn't their fault they ran over curfew.

Singer Axl Rose used his twitter to explain his side of the story.
"Our start times at the Reading and Leeds festivals factually had nothing to do with us as the previous bands (who were great by the way) came off stage when they did and we went on within our contracted and documented changeover time period.
"Whatever other nonsense anyone's choosing to write would appear intentionally false."
Axl continued his rant (anyone remember the Gunners classic "Out Ta Get Me"?) accusing organisers of not caring about fans for shutting down their show and denying them the opportunity of an encore.
"It's a cash grab with no respect for the fans or the band and somehow an unwanted inconvenience for the cities and law enforcement," Axl said.
"We gave 100% and from where we stood it seemed both the fans (who rocked!) and our camp were having fun and making the most of things."
Can't wait to see them when they hit Australia in December. It will be nuts!
