According to Fortune, in 1994, Duff McKagan's pancreas exploded.The old Guns N' Roses bass player says years of dot and alcohol abuse caused the rupture, which left him sidelined for months. As he recovered from the incident at home and sobered up, he found himself with hours of free time and little to do.
McKagan wandered into his basement one day and came across a file cabinet containing GnR's financials from the old six years.
