Rock fans around the globe rejoiced when news broke that Guns N’ Roses legends Axl Rose and Slash would reunite for a special appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. However, shortly after the announcement, confusion and frustration began to mount due to a critical mistake involving the revealed date and time.
NBC initially issued a press release stating that the highly anticipated reunion would air on Thursday, April 10th at 11:35 PM ET. However, fans quickly noticed that April 10th falls on a Thursday in 2025, not 2024 as initially assumed. Additionally, some media outlets reported the event scheduled for Wednesday, leading to mass speculation and uncertainty.
As excitement turned into chaos across social media, The Tonight Show producers quickly issued a clarification. According to the latest update, Axl Rose and Slash are now officially scheduled to appear on Wednesday, April 9th, 2025, airing live at 11:35 PM ET on NBC.
Despite the initial mix-up, anticipation for the reunion remains sky-high. This marks the first major televised appearance featuring the duo since their partial reconciliation in 2016, and fans are eager to witness the chemistry that once fueled one of the most iconic rock bands in history.
Sources close to the production hint that Rose and Slash will not only sit down for a candid interview with Jimmy Fallon but also deliver a special live performance — their first TV performance together in nearly a decade. What song they will perform remains under wraps, though insiders suggest a classic like “Sweet Child O’ Mine” or “November Rain” could be on the setlist.
Jimmy Fallon, known for his love of musical guests and spontaneous collaborations, is reportedly thrilled to host the historic moment. In a brief teaser clip posted to Instagram, Fallon promised “one of the biggest nights in Tonight Show history.”
While the initial error caused a brief uproar, fans now have a corrected date and time to look forward to. With legends Axl Rose and Slash sharing the stage once again, the upcoming episode promises to be a night rock fans won’t want to miss.
