Guitarist Izzy Stradlin has been the discussion point many times over the last six months, on just what his role would be in the upcoming Guns N’ Roses reunion tour. It started out as a long shot, then we heard he would play 2-3 shows. Now, he has confirmed it all to be nothing but rumours.
Stradlin has told Rolling Stone: “At this point in time, I will not be playing at any of the April 2016 Guns N’ Roses shows. I’ve also not been in the studio recording or writing with any of the others recently. There is so much speculation, but so very little info, that I thought I should reach out.
“I know there’s a lot of questions regarding my Twitter account – but it’s me. I opened the Twitter account. There was just so much speculation going on regarding my involvement and studio recording.”
He continues: “There’s so much misinformation, so I wanted to clarify that I’m not in the studio recording with any of the Guns N’ Roses guys. At this point in time, I’m not involved in the actual shows. A lot of stuff fans are reading isn’t true.”
Guns N’ Roses have locked in just the 6 reunion shows, many more are expected to be announced in the coming weeks. It’s just over a month until they play their first show back, which will be in Vegas with the whole world watching, waiting and some wanting it to all fall apart.
