After reports that a woman was injured by a thrown mic at a Guns N’ Roses concert in Australia, Axl Rose says he’ll pull the plug on the tradition.

在有報導稱1名婦女在「槍與玫瑰」的澳洲演唱會上被丟出來的麥克風砸傷後，埃克索爾‧羅斯說，他將對此一傳統喊卡。

The Guns N’ Roses frontman said on Twitter Friday night that he has closed shows by throwing the mic to fans "for over 30 years."

這位「槍與玫瑰」的主唱週五晚間在「推特」上表示，他以朝歌迷丟麥克風來結束表演已有「30多年」。

“It’s come to my attention that a fan may have been hurt at [our] show in Adelaide Australia possibly being hit by the microphone at the end of the show when I traditionally toss the mic to the fans,” Rose wrote. "If true obviously we don’t want anyone getting hurt or to somehow in anyway hurt anyone at any of [our] shows anywhere."

「我注意到，當我依循傳統把麥克風丟向粉絲時，在（我們的）澳洲阿德雷德的表演中的1名粉絲，或許是被麥克風打中而可能受傷，」羅斯寫道。「倘若屬實，我們顯然不希望任何人受傷，或是在（我們的）任何地方的表演中不經意地以任何形式傷害任何人。」
