After Axl Rose stated he would not be attending his own inductino into the Rock and Roll Hallf of Fame with the original lineup of his band Guns 'n Roses, a press release was issued Thursday by the Hall that failed to mention Guns 'n Roses were being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at all.
A rep told Fox411.com their omission was an oversight, and that they will be in attendance (at least some of them).
Here's the release:
