When Was Guns N’ Roses’ Last Tour?

After touring extensively from 2021 to 2023, Guns N’ Roses took a break from the road in 2024.

“I think for me, I know I had to rest — I had to rest my body,” bassist Duff McKagan explained in a recent interview with Sirius XM’s Eddie Trunk. “A lot of hours on stage. A lot of traveling. And I’ve gotta listen to my body these days. I’ve gotta listen. So I had to rest. I think we all need to rest. Slash, he’ll go out and tour, like, four weeks later [with one of his projects] and do it all over again. I’m, like, ‘Okay, dude. More power to you. I’m gonna go to Hawaii. I’m going to Hawaii, man.’”

McKagan toured behind his Lighthouse solo LP and released a new live album, while Slash released and toured behind his second solo effort, Orgy of the Damned. Meanwhile, Axl Rose collaborated with other artists, covering UFO‘s “Love to Love” with Michael Schenker and making a surprise appearance alongside Billy Joel at the Piano Man’s final Madison Square Garden residency show.
