The reunification of GUNS N 'ROSES in the original composition is unlikely to take place

The GUNS N 'Roses group will be introduced into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Hall of Glory on April 14, and therefore it was more than once reported that the musicians in their original composition will perform with a concert. However, a recent interview with Slash speaks of the opposite. “I, Duff McCagan and Stephen Adler are going to go to Cleveland, but when it comes to the original composition of Guns N 'Roses, including myself, I can say absolutely nothing concrete. Axel hates me everything, including my insides, for a number of reasons, which I, however, know nothing about. He called me - "Tumor." We do not talk to each other, and I do not know anything about the intentions of Axel and Izzy Stadlin. As a result, it is very similar that no one knows what exactly will happen on April 14, ”said Slash.
