Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose has given a curtain call to his tradition of tossing a microphone into the crowd after one concertgoer said she was struck in the face by the flying mic.

Mr. Rose, 60, shared the news in a statement posted to Twitter last week following a concert in Adelaide, Australia.

“Having tossed the mic at the end of [our] show for over 30 years we always felt it was a known part of the very end of [our] performance that fans wanted and were aware of to have an opportunity to catch the mic,” the frontman wrote Friday.
