EUROPATURNE AFLYST!
Guns N' Roses skulle begynde deres Europa-turné den 1. juni på den tyske musikfestival Rock am Ring, men meddelte i maj, at de ville aflyse hele turnéen; ifølge bandets europæiske ledelsesagentur var årsagen til aflysningen leadguitarist Bucketheads sygdom. Der var planer om at udsætte turneen og afslutte den sidst på året.
Den 8. november blev det annonceret, at turnéen skulle aflyses fuldstændigt, angiveligt på grund af Bucketheads igangværende sygdom, hvilket også skulle have forsinket færdiggørelsen af det kommende album.
Bandets manager, Doug Goldstein, undskyldte over for fans for at planlægge turnéen, som han indrømmede, var en dårligt gennemført beslutning, med følgende udtalelse:
"Following the euphoria of [the band's appearance at the] Rock in Rio [concert], I jumped the gun and arranged a European tour as our plan was to have the new album out this year. Unfortunately, Buckethead's illness not only stopped the tour, but it slowed down our progress on Chinese Democracy. I am very sorry to disappoint our fans, but I can assure them that this is not what Axl wanted, nor is it 'Another page from the Howard Hughes of rock,' as some media will no doubt portray it. I made a plan, and unfortunately it did not work out."
