According to BBC News, the boss of the U.K.'s Reading and Leeds festival has made it clear that if this year's headliners GUNS N' ROSES arrive on stage late, as they did in 2002, he'll pull the plug on their set.

Eight years ago the Axl Rose-fronted band was over two hours late at Leeds, and it landed the festival in hot water with the local council.

"If GUNS N' ROSES decide to take to stage as late as they did in Leeds some years ago then the performance just won't happen," Melvin Benn told BBC News.
