Guns n' Roses withdraws from My Coke Fest
Coca-Cola South Africa, in conjunction with its media partner, 5FM and My Coke Fest organizer Big Concerts, regrets to announce that Guns ‘n Roses will no longer form part of the line-up of the music festival taking place in Johannesburg and Cape Town on April 27 and May 1 respectively.
Guns ‘n Roses were forced to postpone the second leg of their global tour including appearing at My Coke Fest, due to an injury recently sustained by the group’s bassist, Tommy Stinson.
Commenting on his injury, bassist Tommy Stinson said: "I feel so bad right now. I accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. I put my hand down to break my fall and heard a loud 'pop.' The next morning I went to see my doctor, and the bad news is it's severely sprained and I may have done some ligament damage. I feel horrible.
“We'd like to apologize to our fans who were looking forward to seeing us for their patience and support."
The good news is…. The 12-hour, adrenalin filled My Coke Fest continues with an exciting mix of SA talent and international music heavyweights. The impressive line-up includes HOOBASTANK, STAIND, 3 DOORS DOWN, EVANESCENCE, THE SPRINGBOK NUDE GIRLS, THE PARLOTONES, EVOLVER (JHB only), CASSETTE (JHB only), J (JHB only), THE DIRTY SKIRTS (CT only), LOVE JONES (JHB only), and TAXI VIOLENCE(JHB only).
Those who wish to be refunded can collect their refunds from Computicket as from Friday, April 20 2007. Refunds will only be allowed until midnight on the day of the actual show. We are also investigating a mechanism for compensating consumers who will attend the concert. Individuals in possession of a complimentary ticket will not be entitled to any refunds.
We regret any inconvenience caused to our customers and consumers.

What a bunch of clowns. Stinson is a crap bassist anyway, what's stopping them from bringing a tour bassist or something?
I'm actually glad I never managed to get tickets
