Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose borrowed Dave Grohl’s throne for his band’s reunion shows over the weekend – and thanked his Foo Fighters counterpart for helping out.

Rose sustained a broken foot last week, leaving him in a cast and with six temporary screws holding a bone together.

But he appeared on stage as planned in Las Vegas on Friday and Saturday, with the help of the stage prop designed by Grohl after his own leg injury last year.

The Foo Fighters logo could be made out on the back of the chair, surrounded by lights and guitar necks, while Rose led Slash, Duff McKagan and co through full-length sets while seated. His friend Sebastian Bach made a guest appearance at the T-Mobile Arena on Saturday night.

Rose later tweeted: “Huge thank you to Dave Grohl for the use of his rock throne! An amazing gesture! Words aren’t enough! Makes all the difference up there!”

He also thanked Grohl’s daughter Harper Willow “for letting her dad come to the show.”

Guns N’ Roses play two shows in Mexico City and perform two sets at the Coachella festival before launching their Not In This Lifetime tour, with more dates expected in due course.
