ST. LOUIS — Legendary rock band Guns N' Roses have postponed their concert at Busch Stadium on Saturday.
5 On Your Side confirmed with officials at Busch Stadium the concert has been postponed and more information will be released at a later date.
The concert was set to begin at 6 p.m. Saturday with special guest The Pretenders.
In a statement Friday evening, Guns N' Roses said the concert has been postponed due to an illness. They did not elaborate further on how serious it was or if their next tour stop would be canceled.
"Hang on to your tickets – fans who are unable to make the rescheduled date will be eligible for a refund," the band said.
Ballpark Village was set to host a pre-concert party on Saturday. Due to the postponed concert, the All-Inclusive rooftop party has been postponed as well, officials confirm.
Ballpark Village's CEO Mike LaMartina said all scheduled day and night entertainment will continue as planned. Concertgoers can hear live music, watch the Cardinals away game and grab a bite at their restaurants.
The tour's next stop will be in Knoxville, Tennessee, on Sept. 12 with special guests Dirty Honey.
Earlier this month, singer Axl Rose tweeted after their concert in New York City apologizing to fans as he was a "little horse."
The tour was announced back in February 2023 and kicked off in June in Israel. The tour made stops through the Middle East, Europe and North America.
Guns N' Roses and St. Louis have a long history with each other.
The infamous "Riverport Riot" happened on July 2, 1991, when the band was playing at Riverport, now Hollywood Casino Amphitheater. Frontman Axl Rose dove into the raucous crowd to stop a fan from taking a picture.
He was charged with assault and property damage in the incident. He was found guilty and fined $50,000.
It wasn't until 26 years later in 2017 when the band returned to St. Louis and performed at The Dome at America's Center.
