The most recent Guns N’ Roses tour featured Axl Rose as the only founding member. _Rolling Stone_ [reported](http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/slash-axl-rose-talk-to-dispel-some-of-that-negative-stuff-20150822 "undefined") in August that the singer and guitarist Slash were finally on speaking terms for the first time in nearly two decades. Slash quit the group in 1996 and it was widely assumed that his departure was the last time the two had spoken. When the Gunners were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2012, Rose declined the honor and did not appear at the ceremony. He [penned an open letter](http://www.ew.com/article/2012/04/12/axl-rose-not-attending-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame "undefined"), which ran in the _Los Angeles Times_, saying that no one had the right to speak for him, and that he had no interest in reuniting with his former bandmates.
