Axl rose, that was an amazing speech. I respect you for doing this for Lisa marie and to the family.

Tears in my eyes ..I'm a singer and I know how hard it is to sing when you're crying! Beautiful and full of emotion...

He had an excellent, eloquent speech for his dear friend. It was beautiful.

Beautiful words Axl. Lisa Marie rest in the Light. Know that you are so loved💗

Axl speech was pure perfection. And his dedication of November Rain was absolutely incredible

Well said Axl. ❤

That was a dignified, honest and beautiful tribute to Lisa Marie Presley by Axl Rose. Thank you, Axl, for such a thoughtful and appropriate message for your friend Lisa Marie, beloved daughter of Elvis and Priscilla Presley.

I can feel Axl's pain for the loss of his friend 😭

Axl would text Lisa trying to cheer her up. Sending her funny animal videos. I'm sure just like many of us would do for our friends.

Went from being a ball of energy to speaking so sincerely, wow! Respect for this man

Wonderful Axl!

Youre an amazing friend Axl. Im sure Lisa would be so greatful for your friendship. I know this wasnt easy, but it certainly was touching to watch and listen. RIP Lisa Marie

Wow I would have never thought in a million years Axl Rose and Lisa Marie Presley were close.. close enough for him to speak at home memorial 💔

God bless her and her family 🙏🙏🙏

Rest in Peace, Lisa Marie ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Great job Axl !! Heartfelt and beautiful!!

He's a gifted man x

People give Axl so much crap for not looking like he looked 30 years ago, not singing how he sang 30 years ago, and so on. They're missing the salient point that this guy is a survivor. He was his generation's Elvis. And like Elvis that level of iconoclastic fame forced him into a lonely bubble. But he came out the other side, still able to go around the world entertaining and making millions of people happy. But I wouldn't be surprised if he relates to Elvis. And I'm not surprised he related to Lisa Marie, who was born into that kind of rarified air. So I imagine losing one of the few people who might understand that would be really difficult. Obviously it was. No amount of fame and fortune can change the fact that we are all confronted with our mortality through the mortality of those close to us. Pain is still pain.

A great speech for a great lady. I'm still in shock too, but Lisa Marie is now with her son and dad.

Brutal, felt the heartbreak. Our prayers are with all.🥲🙏🏻✝️💔

Time for Axl to write a song about her.

Words for the heart. These are the best words.

Love thanks axel rose wonderful beautiful words thanks Mr axel rose

Touching and Beautiful Axl.❤

Welldone Mr. Axl Rose for your beautiful speech, RIP Lisa....

Lisa. You will never be forgotten ssndy. From Myrtle Beach sc rip sweety

as we know people like axl dont need no script. so that is all from his heart.

Well said Axl. And the performance of November Rain had to be extremely hard. RESPECT!!!

WOW, mindful at best..

Axl that was beautiful

My wife and I were at a Guns N Roses show in Vegas about 8 years ago, 2016 ish and we bought private suite tickets. Lo an behold there were 4 other people in the suite and it was Lisa Marie and her at the time husband and two children. We were stunned when we realized it was her and were blown away at her kindness, generosity and humbleness that night. She took the time to take several pics with us with no hesitation. I can honestly say she is the most beautiful woman I have even seen in person (besides my wife of course). Just absolutely breathtakingly stunning. We have met a lot of huge celebrities over the years but nothing compared to Lisa Marie now that we look back on it. RIP Lisa and I'm sure you have touched thousands of people like you did my wife and I that night. An absolute national treasure like your father and you are sorely missed.

Magnifica.😭

Lovely words spoken by Axk i felt his pain

I never knew they were close. Wonderful tribute ❤

Wow, He has class and good manners.

Well done Axl...

Very respectful.

I’m impressed, very nice.

Such a legend AR! RIP Lisa

I sure miss axls voice in concert

Lisa's death broke my heart....RIP Lisa Marie Presley 💔

Damn Axl speaks and still sounds just like his old self .. but he’s destroyed his vocal cords and it’s hard to hear him sing .. I keep listening to him in his prime and it still blows my mind the vocal range he had .. possibly the greatest rock n roll singer of his generation!

This mind Blower so hard Lisa Marie Missed Just liker dad Elvis Aron Presley Her son Benjamin So Love People in USA Our Heavenly Father God Called Lisa Marie home so loved so missed Please take care of Childern Our Lord Savior Jesus Chirst Amen 🙏 ❤❤❤❤

Beutiful speach Axel Rose❤🌹

Musical genius right here.

❤

❤❤❤

Lucky woman who is with him these days...

❤️🕊

ciao Lisa, angelo meraviglioso

Axl singing November rain at her funeral is even more devastating. His voice is gone

So sad.

I lived a mile from there when her father passed away, my car was blocked in my apartment complex till late that night.

He made a fitting tribute.

😢😢😢

I give it to him. He came to speak on behalf of his friend.

😢

They must have been really close. He honoured his friend Lisa Marie greatly, and his pain can be felt. Lisa Marie is not gone she simply transitioned out of the realm of our 5 senses. She is with the people closest to her.

Rockers forever

🥺❤️‍🩹

Lisa rip.Axl tnx man💝

I have never heard Axl Rose speak so eloquently. How beautiful.

❤️

Axl Rose performed at Freddie Mercury's Memorial in 1992. Freddie had loved Elvis so much that he wrote "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" in 1979 as a tribute to Elvis .Lisa Marie loved Queen and Freddie so much that when she saw them in concert shortly after her father died, she gave Freddie one of Elvis' scarves. Our lives often have beautiful threads running through it. Lisa's certainly did.

It is nice to see this gentle sweet side of this man who truly bearing his 💙

Wow - with the exception of concerts Axl NEVER gives speeches or has any other type of public appearance. They must have been very close.

Axl, you did a beautiful job honoring your friend. God bless

I loved his candid honesty. Even when he said he was put on the spot and nervous❤. I’m sure he felt such a great responsibility but his speech and his playing was so healing and beautiful. She must have been smiling down from heaven❤

Kind words spoken from a gentleman... those who have suffered recognize those who have suffered

He was perfect choice to delivery a message on her memorial, he did a nice job, always knew he was human and this shows it, his caring words about Lisa Marie Presley,....

Bless Axl Rose, he was about to lose it. I cant imagine. I wouldve been bawling my eyes out trying to sing and play, as I am right now. Im glad he made it through it. I think he and Lisa had a lot in common, with the exception that Lisa had plenty of love as a child, whereas he was treated awful by a stepfather. He found out his true last name was Rose and not Bailey. I had a great uncle named Bill Bailey, he was musically talented, too. With a fiddle, banjo and guitar.
