VIDEO: Guns N’ Roses rock Chicago for charity


Guns N’ Roses rocked the House Of Blues in Chicago Sunday night.

The event was part of the band’s current “Up Close And Personal” tour, which sees GNR playing intimate, theatre-size shows.

The Chicago gig was made available as a pay-per-view by GNR, with a percentage of the proceeds from the $5 live stream going to fight world hunger.

For this initiative, GNR partnered with Feeding America, the nation's leading domestic hunger-relief organization. Through the leadership of Feeding America, proceeds from domestic-based subscribers will be allocated throughout the U.S.

Feeding America provides low-income individuals and families with the fuel to survive and even thrive. As the nation's leading domestic hunger-relief charity, the network members supply food to more than 37 million Americans each year, including 14 million children and 3 million seniors. Serving the entire United States, more than 200 member food banks support 61,000 agencies that address hunger in all of its forms.

For more information on Feeding America and how you can help – including a donation – visit the organization’s website here.

GNR play six more US dates before kicking off a European tour on May 17 in Dublin.
