Axl Rose does a shotgun wedding

LAS VEGAS — A limousine chauffeur served as witness to the weekend marriage of Guns N' Roses lead singer W. Axl Rose and Erin Invicta Everly, daughter of one of the Everly Brothers.

Rose, 28, and the 24-year-old daughter of Don Everly were married early Saturday at the Cupid Wedding Chapel.

Charles Biondilla, manager of the chapel, said the couple came to the chapel twice before going through with the private five-minute ceremony.

"They were here at midnight first, then they rode around for a few hours in their limousine," he said.

The band has gained notoriety over its use of racial and sexual slurs on its record "One in a Million" and its use of profanity on television.
