Duff McKagan's return to Guns N' Roses has been marred after the band was handed a huge fine for running over its allocated time-slot.
The bassist, who recently quit Jane's Addiction, thrilled fans at the British capital's O2 Arena when he reunited with his ex-bandmate Axl Rose to play a string of the group's greatest hits.
But the rockers are now facing an estimated $108,000 fine from the venue's officials for playing past the 11pm curfew, according to Britain's The Sun newspaper.
An O2 Arena spokesperson confirms the band's promoters will incur a fine for the late finishes, which totaled three hours over two gigs.
