There’s been lots of talk about a Guns N’ Roses reunion at Coachella and all the places that Axl, Slash, and [Undetermined Band Members 3, 4 + 5] might go after playing in Indio. But GNR superfans might not have to wait that long or buy a plane ticket to see members of the group in the same room. Journalist Mitch Lafon is reporting that the band will reunite on Jimmy Kimmel Live next week.
Lafon is leading the speculation that fans should circle Jan. 6 on their calendars while making references to both Guns N’ Roses and Jimmy Kimmel on social media.
Do you Know Where You Are @jimmykimmel ? Next week, right
