It was announced a couple months ago that the original members of Guns 'N Roses, who have been estranged for years, would be reuniting for their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony taking place April 14 in Cleveland, Ohio.
But not anymore. Axl Rose has sent a rather bizarre letter to the Hall of Fame saying he is skipping the ceremony and that he declines his entire induction into the Hall.
Maybe he has plans with Lana Del Rey.
Here is the letter in its entirety:
The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, Guns N' Roses Fans and Whom It May Concern,
When the nominations for the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame were first announced I had mixed emotions but, in an effort to be positive, wanting to make the most of things for the fans and with their enthusiasm, I was honored, excited and hoped...

Nothing lasts forever in the cold November rain, but on a chilly March night at Los Angeles' Wiltern Theater (capacity: 2,200), 50-year-old Axl Rose proved that Guns N’ Roses might last until he’s 100. During a 30-song set, the frontman sang the bejesus out of all the hits, accompanied by the audience (especially on “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door”) and his band du jour: longtime Gnr keyboardist Dizzy Reed, relatively newish guitarists DJ Ashba, Richard Fortus and Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal, bassist Tommy Stinson, drummer Frank Ferrer and keyboardist Chris Pitman. All of them were on a musical par with

Guns N’ Roses will play its first full U.S. tour in five years starting Oct. 28 in Orlando. A few dates had been announced here and there, but today we got confirmation of the cities (and some venues) on the arena tour. The line-up is Axl Rose, guitarist DJ Ashba, keyboardist Dizzy Reed, bassist Tommy Stinson, guitarist Richard Fortus, guitarist Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal, keyboardist Chris Pitman and drummer Frank Ferrer. The press announcement screams that the band will play “all its hits,” which is a good thing since we’ve had no new music since 2008 “Chinese Democracy,” which yielded zero hits,...

Having spent the past two years touring everywhere but the United States (except for that one time they played at a motorcycle rally in South Dakota), Guns N' Roses will finally bring their show to our shores, with a run of arena gigs set to kick off in late October.
The tour — which launches October 28 at the Amway Center in Orlando and features more than 30 dates — is Gn'r's first run of U.S. shows in more than five years. That also means it's the first time they've hit the road here since the 2008 release of their Chinese Democracy album.
In addition to that Orlando show, the list of confirmed U.S. shows, according to the band's publicist, are: October 29 at the American Airlines Arena...
