In an increasingly strange turn of events, it looks like those Axl Rose / AC/DC rumours might actually be true.
As previously reported, rumours began surfacing last week that Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose would be filling his shoes, after Axl was seen with the band at rehearsals in Atlanta in the US.
"This is what I'm being told: Axl was meeting with the AC/DC group, because it's all but a done deal that Axl will front AC/DC for the 10 remaining shows," says radio DJ Jason Bailey. "All 10, including Atlanta."
At the time, we viewed the whole thing with a generous helping of scepticism... but now, TMZ has revealed photo showing Axl Rose leaving an Atlanta rehearsal space, shortly followed by members of AC/DC.
