The news originated from GNR Evolution. http://www.gnrevolution.com/viewtopic.php?id=13709Hi there! At this point in time I`m not involved in the upcoming 2016 gigs . I`ve been writing new material but I have not been writing or recording anything with the GNR guys . I`m starting a twitter account @IzzyStradlin999 to drop a bit of info here and there as needed . Big "thank you" to all the people who have asked about my involvement in April shows ! If anything changes I`ll contact you spread the word Cheers Izzy |

We pretty much had it figured out he wouldn't be returning full-time.
I don't know if that (full-time) is what he's referring to in the tweets, maybe there still are possibilities for surprise appearances like before.

The guy posting this on GNR Evo has real links to Izzy. He ran chopaway.com Edit: I'm not 100% certain though, maybe someone can confirm? |

If it is Izzy, sounds like the door is open on his end due "if anything changes..." written.

Izzy will do Izzy, if it fits his fancy he will do maybe his walk on guest spot if he wants, I am sure there would no objections.

Well, if he isn't involved then as I have stated before, it isn't a reunion....just another lineup....no different than Sabbath or Deep Purple or whoever.  |

I am truly getting sick and tired of people complaining because izzy who hasn't been a full time member since 91 means this isn't a "reunion" the guy hasn't wanted to be back full time. im sure if at any point in the last 20 plus years if izzy called up axl and said i want back in full time axl would have gladly had him so people please let izzy go if he shows up from time to time let it be that.

Yes. Izzy marches to the beat of his own drummer. Let him be. |

Awesome!! I was hoping that since the beginning! Fortus is a far more technical guitar player than him.
People need to stop putting Izzy in an altar or something...the guy has zero commitments with GNR and doesnt give a f... for the the fans, He doesn't deserve all this mourning for his abcense imo. Some guest appearances and some songwriting would be enough!

It's not all about the guitar playing though. You have songs like 14 Years and Dust N' Bones which they probably won't play without him. That said, Fortus is probably the best replacement there is, rather him than Gilby in my book. |
