The man who once famously ate a million dollars in real money, only to shit it back out and then eat the shit as well while swearing relentlessly, is now working as a checkout assistant in Superdrug the pharmacist, in the historic UK town of Bath.
"Can I help you motherfucker?" A frightened Rose - photographed in the Superdrug stockroom - tries to remember who he is.
Rose, real name William Bailey, was spotted by an eight-year-old music fan who had idolised the singer for his misogyny, violence and latter-day hotpants.
“I barely recognised him,” said the fan. “He looked fat. And unnecessary.”
Rose has become an accidental celebrity within the store in recent weeks, not for his musical output but for the vitriol of his frequent violent outbursts towards customers. One elderly shopper explained how Rose had “pinned me down and growled his own lyrics into my ear, analysing their literary merit in a desperately ill informed way. He then told me was going to rape my sister, and told me to ‘suck his fucking dick’, which I point-blank refused to do.”
The store manager, ex-Gunners guitarist Slash, smoked as he refused to comment on the professionalism of Rose’s conduct, or indeed on his future with the company. Other staff include drummer Matt Sorum, who eats the rubbish from the bins and farts at old ladies. A reunion tour of the West Country is thought to be “possible”.
