American rock band Guns N' Roses was recently detained from entering Canada after a gun was found in the tour's convoy.

Addressing the matter during the band's gig in Toronto a couple of days later, lead singer Axl Roses Guns N' Roses told his audience, "Oh, yeah, we found a gun."

"We weren't exactly arrested, we were detained for a while," The Guardian quoted him as saying.

"They were very understanding," the 54-year-old American singer said about the border authorities.

Rose went on to deny that the gun was his.

"You know, it happens, it wasn't my gun," he said.
