Axl Rose

The Guns N' Roses hit, Sweet Child o' Mine, originated as a letter written by Rose to Everly, and after then GN'R guitarist Slash impromptued an interesting guitar solo, Rose fitted in his unfinished letter as the lyrics for what would become one of the most popular rock songs in heavy metal history Fact|date=September 2008. Everly appeared in two music videos by Guns N' Roses: Sweet Child o' Mine and the unreleased video for "It's So Easy" which features Everly in S&M gear.

Rose and Everly met in 1986 and dated for many years before Axl spontaneously proposed, allegedly apearing at her front door, claiming to have a gun in the car, and threatening to kill himself if she refused. They married in Las Vegas on April 28, 1990. One month later, Rose filed for divorce, but the two reconciled, during which Everly became pregnant, and decided to stay together. Everly's eventual miscarriage greatly affected Rose, as Axl had wanted children of his own, and further strained the marriage, and in 1991, the two had the marriage annulled.

In 1994, Everly filed a lawsuit against Rose, claiming that he physically abused her. The charges were settled out of court.
