Guns N' Roses vocalist Axl Rose, aged 64, recently disclosed his ongoing struggles with Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorder while performing. During a concert at MetLife Stadium, Rose spoke candidly to the audience about the discomfort, likening the sounds he experiences while singing to a crunching sensation.
He detailed how the condition affects his ability to perform, explaining that doctors have advised him to avoid chewing. Rose elaborated on the unique challenges he faces as a singer, noting that the facial contortions required for hitting high notes exacerbate the popping and potential dislocation of his jaw.
Adding to his difficulties, Rose mentioned that one side of his mouth is still numb following a recent procedure to correct the TMJ disorder. The band's current North American tour is scheduled to continue until September 19, after which they are set to embark on shows in Australia and New Zealand.
