Axl Rose Reveals His Struggle With TMJ: ‘Sounds Like My Jaw’s Gonna Fall Off’
Guns N' Roses' frontman humorously opened up about the condition during the band's show in New Jersey on Aug. 12.
During Guns N' Roses' three-hour show at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium on Aug. 12, frontman Axl Rose revealed he was struggling with TMJ, a condition causing pain and popping sounds in the jaw. Rose joked, "So now this side of my mouth is still f--king numb, which makes it interesting," and explained that he had recent dental work done on the left side of his face.
The musician noted that singing with TMJ is challenging, as the sounds he hears while performing make him worry his jaw might dislocate or get stuck. Despite the difficulties, Rose continued to deliver hits like "Welcome to the Jungle," "Patience," "You Could Be Mine," and "Paradise City" during the concert, which featured all the band's albums and side projects.
