Rose lawsuit

AXL ROSE filed a countersuit against his former manager, claiming the man and his music management company tried to sabotage Guns N’ Roses to try to force Rose into a reunion tour with the band’s original members.

Rose sued Irving Azoff and Front Line Management, the company Azoff founded, for $5 million (€4m) in Los Angeles.

Front Line Management sued Rose in March for nearly $1.9m in unpaid fees, claiming it had an oral agreement with Rose to receive 15% of his commissions.

Rose said Azoff failed to promote the band’s 2008 comeback album Chinese Democracy.
