Rock News Story Of The Year No. 5: GUNS N’ ROSES
In late May, Guns N’ Roses streamed a series of short videos previewing a Not In This Lifetime tour announcement just days before they would begin a European leg in Ireland.
Titled “The Beginning”, “It Doesn’t End Here” and “We’re Just Getting Started”, the clips trace the band’s history from its origins to present day while promoting further news regarding the trek that reunites the trio of Axl Rose, Slash and Duff McKagan.
The world tour launched with a series of warm-up dates that began with a rare club show at The Troubadour in Los Angeles on April 1, 2016; the event saw Rose break his foot early in the performance, requiring surgery and the use of a throne – on loan from head Foo Fighter Dave Grohl – for live shows until the injury healed.
