Legendary US rockers Guns N’ Roses are set to perform a show in Tel Aviv this summer. The show, set for Yarkon Park, will be part of the band’s 2012 European tour and will mark its first visit to Israel since 1993.

The line-up is expected to be vastly different to the one last seen in Israel, as the only founding member still in the band is the iconic front man Axl Rose. Lead guitarist Slash quit GNR in 1996 and has been locked in a bitter feud with Rose since.

Members of the original line-up will reunite for the band’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland April 14. However they are not expected to perform together at the event.
