Severe weather added to the mounting problems Axl Rose has encountered during the Guns N' Roses tour. Torrential rains in the Rio de Janeiro area contributed to the collapse of a portion of the massive stage at Apoteose Stadium Sunday (3/14) (Photo). Injuries in the near disaster were reportedly few and not severe, and did not involve fans or performers. The news follows reports that fans attending a private party in a San Paulo club the group was supposed to play Thursday (3/11) staged a near-riot when told GNR would not appear. A concert two nights later in the city was almost stopped after bottles thrown from the crowd pelted the stage during the band's first song.
