After months of speculation it’s been confirmed that Steven Adler will not take part in the Guns n’ Roses “reunion,” at least for the foreseeable future. A well-placed source says Adler suffered a ruptured disk and will not be physically able to perform at their club show at Los Angeles’s Troubadour (April 1) and, possibly, beyond. The band also plays April 8 and 9 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
While it hasn’t been announced who will be behind the drum kit when they take the stage tonight, it’s widely believed it’ll be Frank Ferrer, he of the Chinese Democracy-version of GNR. Right now the lone original members on board are singer Axl Rose, guitarist Slash and bassist Duff McKagan. Rhythm guitarist Izzy Stradlin officially announced he was not taking part in the “reunion” last month; other members expected to take part are keyboardist Dizzy Reed and guitarist Richard Fortus
