The band thanks Frank for his friendship, creativity, and sturdy presence over the past 19 years, and they wish him success in the next chapter of his musical journey.
“Frank first joined GNR during a show in June 2006 helping anchor the rhythm section during subsequent tours, including their recent outings featuring the reunited trio of Axl Rose, Slash, and Duff McKagan. His last show with the band took place November 5, 2023, in Mexico.”
Recently, Guns N’ Roses officially announced that they are coming to India on tour after 12 years. The concert will take place on 17th May 2025 at Mahalakshmi Racecourse, Mumbai.
