Axl Roses' Twitter account hacked, say organisers

16 August 2010

As we reported earlier today (Monday), the Internet was awash with the rumour that the ‘Paradise City’ group had cancelled all their upcoming shows following a Tweet by Axl Rose.

Now, however, festival bosses have said that the lead singer’s Twitter account was hacked.

We’ll bring you any more details on this story as we get them.

The festival is less than two weeks away. Arcade Fire and Blink 182 are the other acts set to headline.
