Axl Rose’s Twitter account hacked for cancelled tour announcement

On Sunday Axl Rose’s Twitter account was hacked into and rumours were spread that the infamous Guns N’ Roses European tour was cancelled.

Fans quickly retweeted the message across the internet making it the most used post in the scarcely used Twitter feed.  A spokesman for the rock group however stated that the tour, which is slated for autumn, will still be going on as scheduled.

At the moment, the actual owner of the Twitter profile is not clear, but it is likely that it was hacked by someone who simply guessed the password after Rose neglected to update the social media device or used a password reset attack.

Rose is the most recent in a long line of celebrities who has had their Twitter account hacked joining Ed Miliband, Lindsay Lohan, and Britney Spears in the list of duped celebs.
