KEG Management CEO/The Label Group artist manager Keith Neddo reported on Facebook yesterday that Jacob Bunton, the lead singer of Steven Adler’s band ‘Adler,’ told him that Steven Adler will be performing with Guns N’ Roses.
Guns N’ Roses’ current confirmed lineup for their 2016 tour is Axl Rose, Slash, Duff McKagan, Dizzy Reed, Richard Fortus, and Frank Ferrer. Izzy Stradlin has denied that he will perform with Guns N’ Roses next month, while Steven Adler has not yet publicly discussed his Guns N’ Roses status this year.

Original Guns N’ Roses drummer Steven Adler looks to be in good spirits in his first 2016 photo, taken last month with his band ‘Adler.’ Adler is sporting a new haircut, slightly resembling a young Doc Brown.
Steven Adler’s band Adler canceled their April 1st concert at the Whiskey in Los Angeles a few days ago, with The Whiskey’s Twitter account making a post about the cancellation, with a ‘canceled’ graphic over Steven Adler’s face from the Appetite for Destruction cover.
The tweet said that a ‘major announcement’ is coming that is Guns N’ Roses related: ‘The Steven Adler show on 4/1 has been canceled. Stay tuned for a big announcement ! #GunsNRoses.’ They then announced Guns N’ Roses cover band Hollywood Roses would replace Adler, but then yet again hinted at a surprise Guns N’ Roses performance by liking comments fans who said that GNR would play as a surprise on Facebook, before sending out an e-mail stating that GNR would not play.
While GNR insider/Adler’s friend Eddie Trunk said he has no knowledge of a GNR warm up show, he hinted at Adler canceling his show being good news regarding his status with Guns N’ Roses: ‘Well I’d say this is some good news and about as obvious as it gets.. Good for Steven Adler.”
