Morts au Monsters of Rock Le , Guns N' Roses joue au Monsters of Rock festival à Donington Park (Castle Donington, Angleterre). Au début de leur concert, la foule de personnes pousse vers l'avant. Bien que le chanteur Axl Rose ait demandé au public de reculer, deux fans moururent écrasés. Les médias responsabilisent le groupe de cette tragédie et l'accusent d'avoir continué à jouer malgré la situation dangereuse. Cependant, le chef de la sécurité du concert affirme que le groupe n'était pas au courant qu'il y avait des blessés, que le groupe arrêta immédiatement de jouer lorsque l'organisation le lui demanda et que le groupe avait essayé de calmer la foule surexcitée..
