He's spent the past month confined to a wheelchair on stage after breaking his foot in Los Angeles in early April. 

But it looks like Axl Rose is well and truly on the mend, taking to the stage with AC/DC in London on Saturday night. 

The 54-year-old put on an energetic performance with the legendary rock outfit, jumping around on stage with guitarist Angus Young.

The Guns 'N Roses frontman wore a loose-fitting flannel shirt, under which he wore a black T-shirt with a rubber duck on it with the words 'Touch Me Feel Me' in bold white text.

To accessorise, he also added several silver chains with crucifixes attached as well as chunky rings and bracelets. 

At 61, it seemed age has yet to affect guitarist Angus, who continued to jump around on stage and performed his signature move 'the duck walk'.

Following his injury, Axl had been confined to a wheelchair for many of his dates with AC/DC as part of their Rock Or Bust world tour.

Axl stepped in for Brian Johnson after the 68-year-old pulled out due to hearing loss after 36 years as lead singer of the rock band.

Brian, the band's singer since 1980, was told by doctors he risked permanent hearing damage if he kept performing.

Axl, who has largely been embraced by AC/DC fans, has left open whether he has become a permanent member of AC/DC or if he is just filling in. 

But the outfit have extended their tour, announcing a further ten shows scheduled for the United States.

The US shows will now end on September 20 in Philadelphia, which the band said would be the last date of its marathon Rock or Bust tour that began at the Coachella in California in April 2015.
