Put your feet up Axl! Rocker Rose puts on belting performance while confined to a chair as he joins AC/DC in Seville with his broken foot still in a cast
He broke his foot while performing at Los Angeles’ Troubadour during AC/DC's first reunion show.
And fast forward six weeks and 54-year-old rocker Axl Rose was sat perched atop a cushy throne with his foot still in a cast as he joined the band on tour in Seville on Tuesday.
Belting out tracks from the Rock or Bust world tour, the Guns N' Roses star managed to woo fans amassed at the Andalusian La Cartuja stadium, despite his sedentary performance.

On fire: Guns' N Roses singer Axl Rose performs on stage with rockers AC/DC during their Rock or Bust world tour, at La Cartuja stadium in Seville, southern Spain, on Tuesday
In synch: Lead guitarist Angus Young (L) and Axl put on a robust show in the Andalusian capital
Confined to the chair, Axl gave a lively and robust performance as lead guitarist Angus Young strummed his guitar beside him.
Wearing his trademark bandana under a hat, a smattering of chunky rings and chains, and his beloved leather jacket, the frontman appeared in his element as he sang to the cheering crowd.
Axl has stepped in for Brian Johnson after the 68-year-old pulled out due to hearing loss after 36 years as lead singer of the legendary hard rock band.

Replaced: Axl (right) stepped in for Brian Johnson (left) after he was warned he would go deaf if he did not stop touring
Brian, known for his cap and a voice that strains the vocal cords, joined AC/DC in 1980 after singer Bon Scott died following a night of heavy drinking.
AC/DC postponed its ten U.S. concerts until after its 12-stop European tour, and decided to keep on going after Axl contacted the band to offer his voice.
‘We wanted to complete what we had started. And I mean, you can't call a tour “Rock Or Bust” and then go bust!’ founder and musician Angus said.
Impressive: Critics have widely praised the show with The Guardian writing: ‘[The concert’s] triumph is that it does do exactly what one would expect, but rather better than one had dared hope for'
Critics have widely praised the show with The Guardian writing: ‘[The concert’s] triumph is that it does do exactly what one would expect, but rather better than one had dared hope for.
‘Carry on like this, and those wondering whether AC/DC are still worth going to see this summer should have no worries: they, too, will be having fun.’
Similarly, Rolling Stone declared ‘the new union's potential to be one of the touring hits of the summer’.
Axl contacted the band to offer his voice after Brian was forced to bow out
Brian eft the tour in April after doctors told him if he kept going he would most likely permanently lose his hearing.
He told ABC it was the ‘darkest day of my professional life’ and hoped his health would improve enough for him to resume touring again.
‘I am personally crushed by this development more than anyone could ever imagine,’ he said.
