In a stunning surprise for rock fans worldwide, Izzy Stradlin, the elusive rhythm guitarist and founding member of Guns N’ Roses, has officially reunited with the band ahead of their upcoming concert in Bangkok, Thailand. The highly anticipated show, set for May 13, 2025, at the Thunder Dome Stadium, will mark Stradlin’s first performance with Guns N’ Roses in over a decade.
Stradlin, who was instrumental in shaping the band’s signature sound during their meteoric rise in the late 1980s, stepped away from the group in 1991 amid creative and personal differences. Despite brief guest appearances over the years—most notably during their 2012 residency in Las Vegas—Stradlin has remained largely absent from the group’s high-profile reunion tours, citing disagreements over profit-sharing as a primary reason.
The news of his return was confirmed late Sunday evening via a joint statement from Guns N’ Roses and Stradlin’s publicist. “Izzy is back, and we couldn’t be more thrilled,” the statement read. “This is a moment the fans have been waiting for, and we’re ready to deliver an unforgettable show in Bangkok.”
The reunion is already sending shockwaves through the music community, with fans expressing excitement across social media platforms. Longtime followers of the band are hopeful that Stradlin’s return could signal further collaboration, potentially even in the studio.
While details about the length of Stradlin’s involvement remain under wraps, sources close to the band hint that this may be more than a one-night appearance. “There’s been real chemistry in rehearsals,” one insider said. “It feels like old times.”
Tickets for the Bangkok show are reportedly selling fast, with VIP packages and premium seating nearly sold out. Whether this marks a new chapter for Guns N’ Roses or simply a nostalgic one-night-only event, fans around the globe will be watching closely.
For now, all eyes turn to Bangkok, where history is set to be made once again on the Guns N’ Roses stage.
