Axl Rose Wife: Is Axl Rose Married?

In early 1986, Axl Rose initiated a relationship with Erin Everly, daughter of Don Everly from The Everly Brothers. Inspired by their connection, Rose penned “Sweet Child o’ Mine” for her, and Everly featured in the song’s music video. They married in April 1990 but faced early challenges, filing for divorce less than a month later.

After reconciling and a pregnancy, Everly suffered a miscarriage in October 1990, strain ing their relationship. Following an altercation in November, Everly left, and their marriage was annulled in January 1991. In mid-1991, Rose entered a tumultuous relationship with supermodel Stephanie Seymour, marked by engagement and a subsequent separation three weeks later in February 1993.

Rose’s high-profile relationships and personal controversies added a layer of complexity to his career. Despite the success of subsequent albums, such as the twin releases “Use Your Illusion I” and “Use Your Illusion II” (1991), controversies, including arrests, riots, and feuds with other artists, followed during the accompanying tour. The punk covers album “The Spaghetti Incident?” (1993) marked a departure from their earlier triumphs.

Following the Use Your Illusion Tour, Rose withdrew from the public eye in 1994, contributing to the band’s internal struggles. As Guns N’ Roses underwent changes, with only Rose and keyboardist Dizzy Reed remaining from the original lineup, the release of “Chinese Democracy” (2008) became a landmark event. Rose reemerged in 2001 with a new lineup at Rock in Rio 3 and embarked on the Chinese Democracy Tour.

Despite a public feud with guitarist Slash, Rose’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012 recognized his contributions as a member of Guns N’ Roses. The reunion of Rose, Slash, and bassist Duff McKagan in 2016 for the Not in This Lifetime… Tour marked a significant milestone. Rose’s diverse career also included a stint as a fill-in vocalist for AC/DC in 2016. The NITL tour lineup continued touring in 2020, periodically releasing new singles.
