Guns N’ Roses played a private wedding concert in Saint-Tropez, France Saturday night.
The last-minute show featured guest Izzy Stradlin, who sat in with his former brand for most of the set.
Winding down their European tour this weekend, GNR played the Costa De Fuego Festival in Benicassim, Spain on Friday and were set to play their final show Sunday at Son Fusteret in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, when the Saint-Tropez gig popped up.
GNR guitarist Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal tweeted the news, writing, "Wow. Diverted without info (or gear or clothes or sleep) to play a wedding in France. Yep. Guess it's not *one show left*", adding, "Crew working dangerously nonstop due to added show. Not ok with that..."
Reports suggest the event was a private wedding for a billionaire and that Bryan Adams was also on hand to perform before GNR hit the stage.
Thal tweeted from the event: “My quote of the night: "Hey @MrsBumblefoot , hear that dude playing Bryan Adams? It's Bryan Adams." #BillionaireWeddingQuotes”
Responding to question from a fan about the next step with GNR, Bumblefoot responded: “Playing Bar Mitzvahs I guess...”
After the show, the guitarist seemed thrilled with how the event went, tweeting “That was actually fun & everybody was so sweet :)”
DJ Ashba posted his thoughts, as well, writing “Just finished playing a Private concert in St. Tropez, France. It was great having Izzy back on stage with us. G'nite!! 1 more show to go!!!! Then I'm home bound.”
Stradlin last performed with GNR on June 1 at the O2 Arena in London, England.
