Guns N’ Roses Pay Tribute to Kobe Bryant

February 3, 2020

On Friday, January 31st, Axl Rose took a moment to dedicate Guns ‘N Roses’ “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” to Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna at this year’s Super Bowl Music Fest in Miami.

The rocker took a moment to reflect on our world without Kobe. “The other night coming home from rehearsal … I was like, ‘Is it just me, or is that really weird? It was this fog bank, like a thunder cloud over the trees. It was really white with a slight pink above the trees … It was really weird. The only word I had for that at the time [was] it looked formidable. By morning, apparently, it was much worse. That’s where [Kobe Bryant’s] helicopter flew through. It was pretty scary.”

“I want to dedicate this to Kobe and his daughter and everyone on the flight and everyone in the families and everyone impacted by this terrible event,” he said.
