Axl Rose to Talk Guns N’ Roses on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’

Singer to address reunion rumors next week

By Daniel Kreps

After months of rumors, mysterious teases, subtle, but telling, website updates and other evidence, Axl Rose will appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live next week to address the talk about the classic Guns N’ Roses lineup getting back together. Multiple sources confirmed Rose’s Kimmel appearance to Rolling Stone, but declined to reveal the specific nature of his announcement or taping date. Rose previously appeared on Kimmel’s late-night show in 2012, which marked his first live interview in 20 years.

Rumors of the classic lineup’s reunion were sparked first when Slash told CBS This Morning in May of this year that the “tension … has dissipated” between Rose and him. “We don’t have all those issues anymore,” he said. “There’s not a lot of controversy. It’s something that’s more perpetuated by the media than anything.” In an interview with Sweden’s Aftonbladet in August, Slash admitted that he and Rose were able “to dispel some of that negative stuff that was going on for so long.” However, Slash refused to comment on whether the thaw in his relationship with Rose would result in a GN’R reunion.

However, the door opened for a possible reformation when a pair of Rose’s guitarists, DJ Ashba and Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal, both revealed within a few days of each other in July that they were no longer members of Guns N’ Roses.

Rumors of a classic lineup reunion continued to swell before hitting fever pitch in November, when former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville, a friend of McKagan’s wife Susan Holmes-McKagan, blurted out on camera, “Guns N’ Roses is coming back, motherfuckers.” (“Woo!,” Holmes-McKagan replied.) Mötley Crüe’s Nikki Sixx and even former Velvet Revolver singer Scott Weiland also reiterated the reunion rumors.
