If it were up to me
I'd say just leave me be
Why let one bad apple
Spoil the whole damn bunch
The text above is from Guns N' Roses 'Bad Apples', and seems appropriate to sum up what happened to Guns N' Roses' Axl Rose's Twitter account last Sunday.
The following message was tweeted:
All upcoming Guns N' Roses dates are officially cancelled. Please contact your place of purchase for any refunds.

(When this blog item is written, this is still the latest tweet on this Twitter account!)
Some of the almost 70 000 followers probably were shocked and disappointed. It soon was established, however, that the the message was posted because someone had managed to crack this Twitter account - the message was fake.
Guns N' Rose's web site still has information about the upcoming tour dates without any reservations, and Guns N' Roses' management confirmed that the tweet was fake.
Don't believe everything you read on the Internet, is the obvious lesson to learn from this incident. (A statement that cannot be repeated too often).
Or to say it like Guns N' Roses already did (from 'Nice Boys'):
You know nice boys
Don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
I'm not a nice boy and I never was!
