Axl Rose robbed after Paris show

Paris - Police say Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose was robbed of three gold-and-diamond necklaces worth some $200 000 after the hard rock band's concert in Paris.

A Paris police spokesperson said on Wednesday that the lead singer of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame-inducted band was fuming after the theft during a private gathering after the band's show at Bercy stadium the previous night.

Judicial police have opened an investigation but the spokesperson said it didn't appear Rose was wearing the necklaces at the time. The spokesperson spoke on condition of anonymity because of office policy.

The group's website says they are scheduled to play in Moenchengladbach, Germany, on Friday before returning to France as part of a tour of Europe and Israel that runs until 22 July.
