Guns N' Roses Reunion Tour 2016: Guns N' Roses Will Reportedly Reunite At Coachella In April; Axl Rose Confirms Love For Soft Shell Tacos
Guns N' Roses Reunion Tour 2016: Rumors about a possible Guns N' Roses reunion tour have been swirling for weeks. The original lineup of Guns N' Roses are in talks to perform together for the first time since 1996.
Billboard reported that original lineup of Guns N' Roses will reunite to play Coachella in April. The magazine also reported that the band is in negotiations to play a 25-stadium North American tour this summer.
Frontman Axl Rose took to Twitter to confirm the rumors but got sidetracked by lunch.
"The only thing I know "confirmed" is my LOVE of Taco Bell! Mmmmm.... Taco Bell!! Happy New Years!!" Axl Rose (@axlrose) tweeted on January 1, 2016.
Rose will appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live next week to address the reunion rumors in person.
Alternative Nation reported that the original Guns N' Roses lineup, Axl, Duff McKagan, Steven Adler, Izzy Stradlin and Slash, got an offer of a few hundred million dollars in the mid 2000's to reunite but Axl Rose chose to continue working with the Guns N' Roses lineup that made Chinese Democracy in 2008.Now that guitarists DJ Ashba and Bumblefoot left Guns N' Roses, and Slash and Axl Rose ended their feud, reports say a classic Guns N' Roses lineup reunion tour is imminent.
But German tabloid Bild reported that attorneys have been working for two years for a contract agreement for a Guns N' Roses reunion, but it has to wait until the finalizatin of the Slash divorce. Bild reports that Slash filed divorced Perla Ferrar in January 2015 and she is still entitled to 50% of Slash's property. So, Guns N' Roses can't announce the reunion or Ferrar would make money from it.
Original drummer Steven Adler supports a Guns N Roses reunion.
"The world has missed out on 25 years of great music, because those two weren't together," Adler recently told Loudwire.
"I mean, Slash and Axl, it's like Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page. Imagine if those guys weren't together. It's a shame, and I'm just so glad that they're talking and everything is in the past like it should be. 'Cause I love those guys. Axl doesn't realize that I'm the one who loves him more than anybody."
