New York - Rocker Axl Rose and designer Tommy Hilfiger capped a night out with midnight fisticuffs.
The two were at a new club called The Plumm in Manhattan's Chelsea neighbourhood on Thursday, where "there was an issue between the two of them," Plumm owner Noel Ashman told The Associated Press.
The scuffle reportedly started after the Guns N' Roses front man moved the drink of Hilfiger's girlfriend, Dee Ocleppo.
"I moved his girlfriend's drink so it wouldn't spill," Rose told the Los Angeles radio station KROQ on Friday. "It was the most surreal thing, I think, that's ever happened to me in my life."
'He just kept smacking me'
According to the 44-year-old singer, Hilfiger, 55, smacked him in the arm and told him to put the drink back. "He just kept smacking me," Rose said.
Attempts to reach the fashion designer or a representative were not immediately successful.
Rose was there to play a surprise set for Rent actress Rosario Dawson for her 27th birthday party.
At the time of the dustup, The Plumm was packed with a celebrity crowd including Lenny Kravitz, Mickey Rourke, Kid Rock, Peter Beard, Molly Simms, Wentworth Miller, Ann Dexter Jones, Lydia Hearst and Damon Dash.
Rose did perform, and dedicated the song You're Crazy to "my good friend Tommy Hilfiger."
