# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born William Bruce Rose Jr. in Lafayette, Indiana, on February 6, 1962, he moved to Los Angeles in the early 1980s and co-founded Guns N' Roses in 1985. The band's debut, Appetite for Destruction (1987), sold over 30 million copies worldwide and remains the best-selling U.S. debut; "Sweet Child o' Mine", inspired by his relationship with Erin Everly, hit number one. The twin albums Use Your Illusion I and II (1991) debuted at No. 2 and No. 1, selling 35 million combined, but the tour spiraled into riots — Rose was arrested for inciting the Riverport Riot — media rants, and feuds with Metallica and Nirvana. After the band stalled, Rose disappeared, then reemerged in 2001 with a new lineup and eventually released Chinese Democracy (2008), the most expensive rock album ever made. He reconciled with Slash and Duff McKagan in 2016 for the Not in This Lifetime... Tour, filled in for AC/DC on two dozen shows, and remains the only constant member since 1985.
