Slash has told Kerrang! that he will be taking time out of his European travels to watch today's FA Cup final between his hometown club Stoke City and Manchester City.
"I'm gonna watch the match from [France]," the guitarist tells Kerrang!. "I'm a football fan and I always root for Stoke because they're the underdog. They're a great team but they never quite make it."
Will there be chants of 'We only score from a throw in!' coming from his hotel room? Only time will tell.

Slash recently announced details of a UK headline tour, which takes place around his festival performances at T In The Park, Oxegen, and London's High Voltage.
Catch him at:

21 Manchester Apollo
24 Stoke Victoria Hall
25 Leeds Academy
Tickets are onsale now from Aloud. Slash will release a new single, Starlight, on July 25.
