He talked about how much a fan of McCafferty he was and Nazareth. Guns N’ Roses also did “Love Hurts” in 1974. Rose continues:

“Haven’t addressed this… been a tough pill to swallow.

“Very, very sad to learn of the passing of Dan McCafferty of Nazareth. I learned a day or so after rt b4 r show. Was in a bit of a surreal headspace on stage for several songs. Went on a Nazareth binge for a few days. Thanks Dan n’ all of Nazareth for all the music over the years. Their music n’ Dan’s voice will always have a special place in my heart. Rest in peace Dan.”

Guns N’ Roses were doing their show in Bangkok, Thailand implying that he was in a “surreal headspace” while they were doing the show. Rose then binged and listened to Nazareth’s music until right around their band played in Singapore a few days later.
