Guns N’ Roses revealed via social media that one of their members has fallen ill, forcing the iconic rock band to cancel their show in St. Louis Saturday.
“Gunners, the concert scheduled for St. Louis on September 9 has been postponed due to illness,” the “Sweet Child O’ Mine” musicians said in a joint statement on Instagram Friday.
“Hang on to your tickets – fans who are unable to make the rescheduled date will be eligible for a refund. Thank you for the support 🌹.”
It is unclear who has gotten sick and no further details about the illness were released.
Reps for Guns ‘N Roses declined Page Six’s request for further comment.
Slash, the group’s lead guitarist, also reposted the same announcement on his Instagram Friday, but Axl Rose, the band’s lead singer, did not post it.
The “Welcome to the Jungle” singer’s most recent Instagram post was shared on Wednesday, and showed video of the rocker onstage at a show in Toronto.
After the St. Louis tour date, Guns N’ Roses is scheduled to perform in Knoxville, Tenn., on Tuesday, per their website.

It is unclear if the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Famers will be ready to return to the stage by early next week.
Fans have taken to the comments section of Guns N’ Roses’ Instagram to weigh in on the cancellation.
Many pointed out that the group appears to have a stroke of bad luck with St. Louis, referencing the infamous July 2, 1991, concert that has been dubbed the “Riverport Riot.”
“There is always something wrong in St. Louis shows,” one person wrote.
Another commented, “Axl post traumatic vibes from St. Louis.”
According to Billboard, during the show 32 years ago, Rose got upset with a fan who had a camera and so he dove into the crowd to confront the person.
The “November Rain” singer, now 61, reportedly then said, “Thanks to the lame-ass security, I’m going home! … We’re outta here,” before taking off his mic.
Per Billboard, the audience then grew upset and a riot ensued, resulting in several arrests and 65 injuries.
