Axl Rose is recovering after an embarrassing stage tumble at the end of a show in Liverpool, England on Sunday night.

The Guns N' Roses frontman was leaving the stage at the Echo Arena as his group wrapped up the gig's final song Paradise City, when he tripped on equipment and fell backwards.

Rose suffered only bruises and a smack to his ego, but he was still checked out by paramedics backstage.

The rocker hasn't had a lot of luck on tour in Europe this month - he was treated for a suspected haematoma after bruising his leg in Russia.
