Former GUNS N' ROSES Manager IRVING AZOFF On Band’s Reunion - “I Think This Is A Good Historical Moment That The Public Deserves To See… I Hope It Happens”

In a new interview with The New York Times, former Guns N’ Roses manager Irving Azoff discusses the band’s reunion. An excerpt from the interview follows:

Q: Recently it was announced that Guns N’ Roses would be reuniting for Coachella. You once briefly managed the band, and Axl Rose said that you had tried to pressure him into reuniting the original group.

A. “I would never go to an artist and say, “I want you to reunite.” If he had asked me if I thought it was a good idea, I would have said yes. But by the way, nobody tells Axl to do anything. He does what he wants to do. Slash and Duff McKagan are terrific people. Axl is a complicated individual that I wish nothing but success for. I think this is a good historical moment that the public deserves to see. I hope it happens.”
