[Lord Stan]

Of course he'll retire. Soon, probably on Tuesday. Or he gets a Stay of Execution.

About 100% of rumours we hear and want to believe in haven't happened. Why is this different. Of course anyone in a somewhat temporary job could be looking for something.

[Spirit]

If this was the case, surely it would have been mentioned in official press releases directly from GN'R.

[Natalie]

I think they would have said so since the beginning if that was the case.At least this is what most artists do when they are about to start their farewell tour. Plus Fortus was talking about new music a few days earlier. He might not be the no1 accurate source when it comes to a new release , but he is a member of the band. If he knew they are about to call it a day after the current tour, he would not say that.

[D-GenerationX]

I would not be shocked.  From the moment he agreed to this, I wonderered if it was a last ride.

[sky dog]

bullshit Alt Nation rumor....using old quotes and not realizing that "promoters" want to SELL tickets! Hook or crook they want to sell tickets.

Me neither. But if it had been decided now and was foemal there is no way that they wouldn't be using the draw to flog tickets. Heavily.

Axl and most artists in the same sentence

For a crime you need an opportunity and a motive. There is always the opportunity to fuck with people but Axl simply has no motive to do so.

Why would he suddenly make some unannounced stuff that he knew will affect so many people financially and otherwise.

Well for me it would help financially if I didn't have to travel to shows anymore

[14 Yrs Of Silence]

Just mentioned in St. Louis that he hoped to see them (fans) again soon.  Doesn't sound like retirement.

ok you have a point there But the reason everyone says it beforehand is to boost ticket sales. Would Guns kick an opportunity to do so ? don't think so.
pretty much what alwaystired said.

Agreed, a subtle hint by a promoter to sell more tickets.

If this was indeed the last hurrah, it would be promoted heavily as such and  Axl wouldn't be telling audiences he will see them soon at the end of a show.

Total BS.

[gnrrock]

My guess is the last leg of this current tour.

You always have to take such comments with a grain of salt. I remember last Vegas show in June 2014 Axl said he hoped to be back later that year.

In October 2015 I saw Slash in Denver and he promised to be back "next year."

I've learned that artists say stuff to give the crowd something to wish for but in reality the words don't mean anything.

if the shows are sold out, how can they sell more tickets?

They're not sold out are they? Looking at ticket sites there seems to be a lot of tickets available for every show.

[Walapino]

Meegan has already confirmed its FALSE info on her instagram account, so no retirement yet!

While you're correct, don't forget it's not the artist who decides where & when to preform.

You're talking ballshit...There 2-3000 tickets left per shows...Tickets selling are very good,maybe in Denver left 5000...
There are lot fuckers and suckera who talked shit about bad selling since the tour started...And what did we have...One of the biggest tour ever...
Suck my dick fuckers

This exactly. I'm quite unsure why people think otherwise. Even Axl doesn't say, hey, I'll go there next February.

Like many in normal jobs he must wait to know when and where are his shifts. Of course some wishes can be made and others will see if that is possible or not.

If you are unhappy take a sick day or try to change shifts with someone.
