Former members of GnR minus Axl Rose turned up in Cleveland for their induction into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Slash, Duff, Steven and Matt were joined by guitarist Gilby Clarke and singer Myles Kennedy and performed three classic Appetite for Destruction songs.
Courtney Love took to Twitter for a private mother daughter conversation. She publicly accused Dave Grohl of hitting on Francis Bean and went on to add that Dave had wanted to screw her a lot and had shagged all of her pals. Francis Bean responded by saying:
"While I'm generally silent on the affairs of my biological mother, her recent tirade has taken a gross turn. I have never been approached by Dave Grohl in more than a platonic way."
She went on to say, Twitter should ban her mother.
When Dave heard about the accusations he rolled his eyes and through a publicist said, "These new accusations are upsetting, offensive and absolutely untrue."
Then in true classy Courtney fashion, she apologized publicly on Twitter:
Bean, sorry I believed the gossip… Mommy loves you."
Wow. I wonder if Courtney has seen the movie Mommy Dearest?
