Axl Rose has become quite the writer, no?

After releasing a long (and we mean long) letter explaining his rejection as an inductee for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last week, the Guns N' Roses frontman posted yet another letter today, apologizing to his Cleveland fans.

But for what?

The topic at hand is still the Hall of Fame, people.

Rose wrote, "I would like to apologize to Cleveland,Ohio for not apologizing to them beforehand for not attending [the ceremony] in their city. I think they know how much I genuinely love performing there.Cleveland does in fact Rock!!"

Hey, he's just covering all bases.

Axl also pointed out how "unbelievably relieved" he was to receive such positive feedback after making his announcement regarding the induction, and that he, "sincerely didn't want to disappoint anyone. It gets old being the outlaw even if 'it's only rock and roll.'"

The ceremony was held last Saturday and showcased performances by Green Day and the remaining members of GNR.
