NEW YORK: Guns N’ Roses has announced concerts in Japan and Australia, extending a long-awaited reunion tour into 2017. The hard rock legends said they would play three shows in Japan in January — one in Osaka and two at Saitama Arena near Tokyo — followed by five Australian dates.
Guns N’ Roses, whose 1987 “Appetite for Destruction” remains the top-selling debut album ever, in April reunited with their classic lineup of singer Axl Rose and guitarist Slash for the first time since 1993.
The rockers — who had passed up years of lucrative reunion offers amid bad blood between Rose and Slash — are touring North America and afterward plan shows in Latin America.
The reunion has gone smoothly, with longtime fans of Guns N’ Roses startled that the notoriously hard-partying band is even starting sets on time.
