Police in Paris have confirmed that a rogue thief stole three gold and diamond necklaces belonging to the rock singer.

Rose is said to have been left "fuming" over the incident, which is believed to have occurred at a "private gathering" in Paris the day after the band played at the city's Bercy stadium.

Paris police have said that an investigation is currently underway into the theft, but they added that Rose was not thought to be wearing the jewellery at the time.

The classic rock band are currently on tour in Europe, recently playing a number of shows in the UK -  with some fans complaining about their now infamous late stage arrival.
