New York, Dec 13 : Guns N'' Roses singer Axl Rose reportedly suffers from "anthropophobia" - fear of people.

According to music industry insiders, the 46-year-old star is afraid of people.

The new Guns album, "Chinese Democracy" - which Rose took 15 years to complete and release - dropped on Nov. 23, and since then, "he has fired his management company, Front Line, three times in four weeks," said a source.

Following the fear, he even refuses to promote his album.

"He hasn''t left his Los Angeles home in two months," the New York Post quoted a source as saying.

"He won''t give interviews, won''t do talk shows, or perform - which makes touring or promoting very difficult, obviously," the source added.

However, Rose's rep Larry Solters denies that the singer is an anthropophobic.

"He has not been diagnosed with anthropophobia. He hasn''t fired Front Line, and no interviews have been cancelled," Solters added. (ANI)
