Tonight has been an absolute joy and an honor. Thank you to The Royal Family, the city of London, and to all in attendance of our official Royal Premiere of DIGGER! Alejandro, the cast, and I had so much fun.

You never knew what you were going to witness at a Doors’ concert...
🎥: The Sam Houston Coliseum in Houston, Texas, 1968. During the performance, Jim disappeared beneath the stage before reemerging, captured here on film.

@ShakeLS Nobody “shines” what are you talking about? These are people not objects. Explain how a person can shine while standing still talking to other people? Why do they have to shine? Is it a requirement?
@gunsnroses It was awesome seeing you guys play 2! different shows this time around. I didn’t get to do that in 2023. The band was on point and worked hard to please everyone
@AXSTV I was lucky enough to have met OZZY Osborne at a record signing event of his last album Patient #9 at a record store in Long Beach CA. I made a complimentary remark and he looked at me and thanked ME for being a fan!! Wow 🤩 I was speechless.. something I never forget
Mick Jagger backstage with Axl Rose and Izzy Stradlin in Atlantic City, December 1989.
Photographer Ken Regan caught this shot during the final week of the Rolling Stones' Steel Wheels North American tour. Guns N' Roses was brought in to open the final shows of the run.
The timing of this photo is perfect, capturing them right before their worldwide pay-per-view broadcast. During the actual shows, Axl and Izzy joined the Stones on stage to perform a heavy version of Salt of the Earth.
Did anyone out there tune in to watch that live pay-per-view broadcast back in December of '89, or get lucky enough to see the Stones and GN'R share the stage in person? Let's hear your memories in the comments! 👇🎤
In 1980, German photographer Lilo Raymond captured John Lennon and Yoko Ono during their daily stroll through the streets of Manhattan. It wasn’t a studio shoot or a special event, they were simply two people walking through their city, completely unaware of what was to come.
Those images show the couple in their simplest routine, far removed from the global icon Lennon had become after The Beatles’ breakup. At that time, John was enjoying a period of relative family calm, devoted to his son Sean and preparing his return to music with the album Double Fantasy, which would be released just weeks later.
Exactly 100 days later, on December 8, 1980, Lennon would be murdered outside the Dakota building, his home in Manhattan.
@CiciTee1 The weather was hotter than usual in the LA area but I never check the weather in their area so I’m not sure what it was before they left. I imagine they had the same triple digits we did. they would initially find it a little cold there. Those kids didn’t need coats in CA!
At the 1989 MTV Awards, Tom Petty started "Free Fallin'" alone, then Axl Rose emerged from the shadows to join him.
Two completely different voices, Petty's laid-back drawl and Axl's howl, sharing one mic. Nobody saw it coming.
