It’s finally happened – Guns N’ Roses has announced their first reunion show, happening April 8th and April 9th of this year. The highly anticipated show will be happening in Las Vegas at T-Mobile Arena. The lineup will include icons Axl Rose, Slash, and Duff McKagan, some of the original band members. Guns N’ Roses will be playing together for the first time in 23 years. However, tickets will be pricey as the band is asking for seven figures per show.
Guns N’ Roses have been rocking out since 1985, when the American hard rock band from Los Angeles first united. Over their musical career, they have released six studio albums with over 100 million records sold worldwide. The band is a legend – their reunion show will be renowned. Guns N’ Roses is one of the world’s best-selling bands of all time. They were also invited to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in December of 2011. However, Axl Rose refused to attend the ceremony and declined the invitation, despite being originally thankful and honored by the news. In April of 2012, the original members of Guns N’ Roses all reunited to be inducted into the Hall of Fame
In December, Billboard reported that Slash was going to rejoin the band and a reunited Guns N’ Roses would headline Coachella in 2016. Axl Rose was supposed to go on Jimmy Kimmel Live to talk about the reunion as well as the band’s plans for the future, but his appearance was cancelled for unknown reasons. However, the Guns N’ Roses reunion is clearly still happening, with confirmation that Axl Rose, Slash, and Duffy McKagan will all be a part of the reunion.
