I was recently out riding my Harley Davidson penny farthing through the grand canyon, when my ever expanding headscarf (worn to conceal my retreating hairline) blew off and got stuck in another motorcyclist’s spokes, forcing him to leap for safety in quite spectacular fashion. Imagine my surprise when it turned out that the hapless Harley headscarf hero was none other than Sir Duff of McKagan.

After much smoothing over, Duff and I have come to an agreement.

In return for Duff’s forgiveness, The Darkness will provide support to the legendary Guns ‘n’ Roses.

Plus, my insurance will pay for the damage to McKagan’s Ducati Velocipede.

We’ll be supporting Guns ‘n’ Roses on the following dates:

7th June – Switzerland, Zurich, Letzigrund Stadium tickets-> www.ticketcorner.ch
