Sunday night's  Guns N' Roses  show at Du Arena in Abu Dhabi had to be cut short because  Axl Rose  was sick. The  singer announced  at the beginning of the show, "I've been throwing up for about the last five hours, [but] instead of canceling I'm gonna do the best show we can do for you." 

The band then did a valiant job, playing 20 songs instead of their usual 28 or so, before having to call it quits. 

After the show,  Duff McKagan  tweeted  to the band's Abu Dhabi fans, "[Axl] pulled a damn miracle...the man was beyond ill, and pulled off something I've never seen in my 40 yrs of playing. You all pulled him thru." 

GNR's tour wraps on December 8th in Honolulu, Hawaii.
