Report: GUNS N' ROSES In Talks To Play Three Shows At London's Wembley Stadium

April 14, 2016

According to the German daily newspaper Bild, GUNS N' ROSES is in talks to play three shows at London, England's Wembley Stadium, possibly in late August or September. The newspaper also reports that German promoters are interested in booking the band but are still unsure about GN'R's reliability. One venue that has been mentioned as possibility for a GN'R concert is the Hockenheimring race track in southwestern Germany.

GUNS N' ROSES played its two shows at T-Mobile Arena on Friday and Saturday (April 8-9),despite singer Axl Rose breaking a bone in his foot. The injury necessitated that Rose undergo a surgical procedure to insert a plate and screws. Rose revealed the injury via Twitter, saying "This is what can happen when you do something you haven't done in nearly over 23 years," apparently referring to the surprise GUNS concert on Friday, April 1 featuring Rose, guitarist Slash and bassist Duff McKagan.

For the shows, Rose performed on what was apparently the same custom throne Dave Grohl used last year for FOO FIGHTERS shows after breaking a leg.

Only Rose, Slash and McKagan from GN'R's "Appetite For Destruction"-era lineup took part in the Las Vegas shows. They were joined by keyboardist Dizzy Reed, guitarist Richard Fortus and drummer Frank Ferrer. Also appearing with them was second keyboardist Melissa Reese.

GUNS N' ROSES are still scheduled to play two shows in Mexico City and two gigs at the Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival starting this weekend. A full North American tour is on tap for this summer.

Several hours after announcing the tour on April 1, GUNS played a gig at the Troubadour, one of the Los Angeles clubs where the band first performed before the release of its debut album, 1987's "Appetite For Destruction".

The set list for the Vegas shows expanded upon the song selection at the Troubadour, adding "Patience" and several favorites from the "Use Your Illusion" albums such as "November Rain", "Civil War", "Estranged" and "Coma", which had not been performed live since 1993.
