Axl Rose has reached out to a teenage waitress in the US after she was victimized by a racist customer.
Last month, 18 year old Sadie Elledge – who is of Honduran and Mexican descent and was born in the US – received a note while working at Jess’ Quick Lunch in Harrisonburg, Virginia, which stated “We only tip citizens.”
The story sparked outrage across the US, with actor Greice Santo stepping in to offer Elledge a makeover through her Glam With Greice project.
And following the incident, Santo, who is friends with Rose, called the Guns N’ Roses and AC/DC frontman to tell him about the story.
Santo tells Alternative Nation: “I told him about Sadie and he already knew her story. When I told him about Glam With Greice, he actually wanted to fly in personally and invite her to AC/DC’s Fort Lauderdale show on August 30 and have her and her family flown down to the show and put up in beautiful hotel rooms. He was going to pick up the whole tab.”
Unfortunately, Elledge couldn’t make the date due to a family bereavement, but she and her family will now attend AC/DC’s show at Washington’s Verizon Center on September 17 instead after Rose personally called Elledge during her makeover.
Santo continues: “Axl is one of the kindest and most generous men I’ve ever met and he is such a cool but down-to-earth regular guy.
“He really wanted to make this so special for Sadie.”
AC/DC have a handful of shows left on their Rock Or Bust tour with Rose, who stepped in on vocal duties after frontman Brian Johnson’s hearing woes.
