Watch Axl Rose wipe out on stage at Hellfest

by Tyler Munro

Some would say Axl Rose has been falling flat on his face for years now, but his career took the term literally when he tripped on stage at Hellfest 2012 earlier this week.

In fairness, the usually bratty Rose played it off pretty well, quickly recovering to his feet and singing “Sweet Child o’ Mine” even though he’d just smacked his legs pretty hard on one of the stage risers. It’s impressive if only because as Blabbermouth points out, Rose underwent treatment for a suspected hematoma on his bruised leg last month.

Watch the stumble up top. He falls at about the 25 second mark.
