Guns N’ Roses add 21 dates to reunion plans

The reunited Guns N’ Roses have finally confirmed plans to tour North America this summer (16).
The regrouped rock legends announced plans to headline the Coachella festival in California in December (15), and have since added a couple of warm-up shows.
Axl Rose was scheduled to appear on U.S. TV host Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show in early January (16), when he was expected to reveal all about his plans to tour with former bandmates Slash and Duff McKagan and talk about the latest G N’ R line-up.
The group’s publicist has confirmed Guns N’ Roses will perform a 21-city tour along with their previously announced set of six reunion shows.
The trek will take the band to America and Canada’s major cities, but venues and fixed dates have yet to be confirmed.
The news comes a day after reports suggesting Axl Rose was rehearsing with AC/DC in Atlanta, Georgia circulated.
A city radio personality went public with the news after a source told him Angus Young and his bandmates had asked the Guns N’ Roses frontman to step in for Brian Johnson and help them complete their North American tour.
Johnson was forced to quit the tour last month (Feb16) after doctors told him he’d risk permanent hearing damage if he continued.
AC/DC postponed a string of shows, but are committed to complete their Rock or Bust tour with guest vocalists, according to reports.
