Guns N' Roses to pause touring in 2027 for new music

Guns N' Roses will pause touring in 2027 to focus on developing new music, according to guitarist Slash. He noted that the band has a significant amount of material that requires collective focus, which is difficult to achieve while traveling on the road.

The band's last full-length album was released in 2008. While the group has released an EP in recent years, Slash explained that writing as a cohesive unit is nearly impossible during active tours because members often work on individual creative projects while traveling.

Regarding potential performances at the Sphere in Las Vegas, Slash stated that while he has not ruled it out for the future, the venue's format does not currently appeal to the band. He expressed concerns that the venue prioritizes visual production over the traditional live sound setup involving large amplifier arrays that the band typically utilizes.
