We reported earlier this week that rocker Axl Rose had been robbed of several pieces of hefty bling that ware valued at up to $200,000. The jewelry went missing after a Guns N’ Roses show in Paris, but the coveted items have now been recovered.
Axl was throwing an intimate party for around 130 people after the GNR performance at the city’s Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy stadium when three of his gold and diamond encrusted necklaces went missing.
Well, apparently someone had too much to drink at the party that night as an unnamed model has returned the items to a Paris police station after she had mistakenly taken them in a drunken haze. The woman told the police that after a hard night of partying she awoke to the realization that she tucked away Mr. Rose's necklaces into her handbag after the gig. She is currently being held in custody.
There’s been no response from Axl’s camp on the quick return, but knowing his affinity for models – he wrote “Sweet Child O’ Mine” for his model girlfriend at the time, Erin Everly – he might be less inclined to hold a grudge.
Guns N' Roses are scheduled to play in Moenchengladbach, Germany, today before returning to France for a series of shows in Strasbourg, Toulouse, Clisson, Montpellier and Toulon as part of their European tour, which ends its run on July 22.

Let me get this straight. Dr Pepper lays down the gauntlet for Axl Rose and dares him to release Chinese Democracy this year by promising to give everyone in America a free soda if the reclusive rocker can finally pull the trigger on the mythological unicorn of an album. So Axl delivers and ... Dr Pepper doesn't? Nice work, soda jerk.
I've got something you don't have, I've got something you don't have — a physical copy of Guns N' Roses' long-awaited LP Chinese Democracy. While you've all been downloading the leaked version of the album, illegally, I've got a copy of the actual record, which I, too, didn't pay a penny for.
