Guns N' Roses frontman has revealed who he believes to be the greatest band and vocalist of all time in a rare interview.
Speaking to Atlas Etihad ahead of the band's appearance in Abu Dhabi last Sunday, the vocalist was asked who he thinks deserves the accolade.
"For me, it’s easy – Queen is the greatest band and Freddie [Mercury] is the greatest frontman of all time," says the singer. "The band are the greatest because they embraced so many different styles."
Guns N' Roses appeared at The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert for AIDS Awareness at London's Wembley Stadium in 1992 and performed Paradise City, and covers of Alice Cooper's Only Women Bleed and Bob Dylan's Knockin' on Heaven's Door.
Rose also sang Bohemian Rhapsody and We Will Rock You with the surviving members of Queen.
