They touted their return to the stage Friday afternoon via twitter and the line quickly began forming. The tour was officially set to kick off April 8th in Las Vegas. Fans in attendance were pumped to catch original members Slash on lead guitar, Duff McKagan on bass and the long awaited return of Axl Rose on lead vocals. This marked the first time the trio performed on stage together since the “Use Your Illusion Tour” in 1993. Also part of the G’N’R cast for the night were Dizzy Reed on keyboards, Frank Ferrer on drums, Richard Fortus on guitar and the band’s first female musician, Melissa Reese on keyboards and backing vocals. Celebrities spotted at the show included Nicholas Cage, Jim Carrey, David Arquette, Norman Reedus (The Walking Dead), Lana Del Rey, Lenny Kravitz and Eagles of Death Metal’s Jesse Hughes.
