Axl Rose said he was not late for Reading And Leeds festival

Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose has made a few comments about his conflict with organizers of Reading And Leeds festival. Everything has begun last Friday – Guns N' Roses were set to headline the first day of the show, but the band arrived onstage about an hour late. The sound was cut when they tried to play the encore, however, Axl Rose were refusing to live the stage for a long time.

According to Axl Rose himself, the band has arrived onstage within the estimated time.

"Our start times at the Reading And Leeds festival factually had nothing to do with us as the previous bands (who were great by the way) came off stage when they did and we went on within' our contracted and documented changeover time period", he wrote in a message on his Twitter account.

However, according to promoters, they warned Axl Rose that the show must end at 11:30pm. They also point that he did not give any reason for being late.

Guns N' Roses' performance at Reading And Leeds festival was a part of the band's tour in support of its last album Chinese Democracy that hit the stores in 2008.
