Guns N Roses set for world tour?
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 6 March 2009
Guns N Roses could be set to follow-up the, er, moderate success of last year’s comeback album, ‘Chinese Democracy’, with a worldwide stadium tour this summer, according the Rolling Stone.
The claims comes via ‘industry insiders’, though the only official word is that there are “exciting things” planned for this year.
The band’s manager Irving Azoff said: “Axl has been basically quiet, keeping out of the limelight for almost 15 years. People think they know him but they only really only know what has been said about him by questionable people. He is a good guy and often misunderstood – he is a professional who has worked very hard to build and maintain a high creative standard for Guns n’ Roses, which I support. We have some exciting things in the works this year for GNR, I’m looking forward to it”.
Asked about touring by Billboard last month, Axl Rose told Billboard: “No plans, but there’s talk. Management and our promoters are really excited with the offers coming in both here and worldwide”.
