The eccentric rocker has infuriated bosses at record label Geffen after
disappearing without promoting the band’s long-awaited ‘Chinese Democracy’
album, which was released last week 15 years after the last Guns N’ Roses
LP.

A source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “People have been trying to
contact Axl for two months and he’s completely AWOL [Absent Without Leave].

“It is frustrating because the album would have had a much better chance of
going to number one if he had only been prepared to show his face.

“You would have thought after spending all those years on an album you might
do a few weeks of promotion.

“Everyone knows Axl is a bit of a maverick genius and won’t do anything he
doesn’t want to.”

‘Chinese Democracy’ was beaten to the number one spot in the UK album charts
by The Killers’ ‘Day and Age’, which sold 200,000 copies – nearly twice as
many as Axl’s record, which is rumored to have cost $13 million, making it
the most expensive ever album.

It has been claimed Axl’s disappearance could be due to him entering into
secret talks to reform the classic line-up of the band.
