Former Guns N’ Roses drummer Steven Adler returned to the band Wednesday night in Cincinnati to perform with the group for the first time since 1990 (not counting Guns N’ Roses’ Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction performance in 2012, which went on without Axl Rose).
Adler joined the current band members — Rose, guitarist Slash, keyboardist Dizzy Reed, bassist Duff McKagan, guitarist Richard Fortus, second keyboardist Melissa Reeves, and current drummer Frank Ferrer. Together they all played “Out Ta Get Me” and “My Michelle.”
The band shared a photo of Adler behind the drum set to their social media accounts and wrote, “Something just happened in Cincy right now…,” before sharing, “Live from Cincy… #NotInThisLifetime…”
Guns N’ Roses first announced their summer tour in April, after they were already slated to headline Coachella and play two shows in Las Vegas. The “Not In This Lifetime” tour kicked off in June and runs through August.

“There are many people in the Burwood and wider Sydney community who have been affected by the death of Xiaoting,” McDonald said.
“She, like many international students, came to this country for education and opportunity, and for her life to end like this is tragic.

Police were called to the courtyard of the building last Monday after reports of concern for someone’s welfare. There, they initially found the body of the 21-year-old man.
After a crime scene was set up and police commenced an investigation, they then discovered Wang’s body inside the apartment.
“A second crime scene was established at the unit which underwent forensic examination,” police said.
In a press conference shortly after the bodies were found, McDonald said it was too early to say yet whether the incident was a murder-suicide or “domestic related”.
Barack Obama has sent social media wild after he appeared to make a not-so-subtle innuendo while talking about Donald Trump’s “weird obsession with crowd sizes” at the Democratic National Convention.
Speaking on the second night of the event, Obama kicked off his speech with plenty of digs at Trump, who was Obama’s successor for the presidency in 2016.
Calling Trump a “78-year-old billionaire who has not stopped whining about his problems since he rode down his golden escalator nine years ago,”
Obama went on to say his “constant stream of gripes and grievances” has only grown worse now that he is “afraid of losing to Kamala.”
The crowd listened intently as Obama touched on Trump’s resumé of “childish nicknames” and “crazy conspiracy theories”.
But, there was one moment that really prompted laughter – and caught the attention of viewers at home.
“There’s the childish nicknames, the crazy conspiracy theories, this weird obsession with crowd sizes…. it just goes on, and on, and on,” Obama said.
