Axl Rose will appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Tuesday next week to address the talk about the classic Guns N’ Roses lineup getting back together, reports RollingStone.com.
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.
