Axl Rose has broken his foot and consequently has made use of Dave Grohl’s throne to perform on during a Guns N Roses show.
One show into their Not In This Lifetime reunion tour, the Guns N Roses frontman broke a bone in his foot, which required a surgical procedure to insert a plate and screws. In a video interview Rose’s orthopaedic surgeon said that the singer is currently in a cast and is limiting the amount of weight on his foot.
@AxlRose: This is what can happen when you do something you haven't done in nearly over 23 years, "Internal Fixation" (ง'̀-'́)ง

Dave Grohl, who broke his own leg on tour last year, designed and built a throne to use whilst performing. Fortunately Axl Rose, Grohl hadn’t disposed of the throne and allowed the frontman to make use of it on Friday night’s gig in Last Vegas. The singer spent the majority of the time seated in the throne during the performance.
"That's one hell of an advertisement," he is reported to have said, pointing at the giant Foo Fighters' logo on the throne.
