Axl Rose jailed in Sweden
Axl Rose spent most of Tuesday in a Stockholm jail cell after allegedly biting a security guard in the leg at his hotel, police said.
The Guns N’ Roses frontman was arrested early Tuesday after he was accused of attacking and threatening the guard and causing damage to the Berns Hotel, where the alleged scuffle took place, police spokeswoman Towe Hagg said.
Rose was released from jail that evening, after he admitted to the charges and agreed to pay a fine of $5,500, Hagg said. The 44-year-old rocker was also ordered to pay $1,360 in damages to the security guard, she said.
Guns N’ Roses played a concert in Stockholm’s Globe Arena on Monday night and was scheduled to perform in Oslo, Norway, tonight.
