A mini Guns n' Roses reunion took place Saturday night at the Key Club in Hollywood as guitarist Izzy Stradlin and bassist Duff McKagan joined drummer Steven Adler and his band Adler's Appetite on stage to play "Mr. Brownstone" and "Paradise City." Slash was spotted in the crowd and was reportedly going to play with his former bandmates, but left before the end of the show. It was the first time Stradlin and McKagan had played with Adler in 17 years. The gig was booked to mark the 20th anniversary of Appetite for Destruction.
On March 25th, Elton John celebrated his 60th birthday with a concert at Madison Square Garden in New York. On September 25th, he will release Elton 60: Live at Madison Square Garden, a two-C-D set containing all 33 songs from the show. There will also be a D-V-D of the show that will include unreleased material. A collector's box will contain not only the C-Ds and D-V-D, but a bonus C-D of live material from various tours, and a 72-page booklet with a souvenir poster and more. Elton is currently off the road until September.
Ozzy Osbourne spent part of his weekend in a Denver hospital having a "minor outpatient procedure." The brief statement from Osbourne's management didn't reveal what Osbourne was treated for but said he was released early Sunday morning and flew to Kansas City, Missouri for tonight's Ozzfest stop. Denver T-V station K-U-S-A reported that Osbourne underwent surgery for a blood clot on Saturday night following his show and that he had complained of leg pain for most of the day.

A D-V-D will be released on November 6th.

Paul Stanley continues to recover from a rapid heartbeat suffered last Friday in California before a KISS concert. He says, "I am absolutely fine. I'm going to the gym as usual, painting as usual, and will be going into the recording studio this week. Like many, I have had a rapid heart beat condition most of my life and I never have had any type of restrictions. When I've had an episode, although momentarily disrupting and taxing, it has no residual effect. This is nothing new and my doctors have known about it. In short, it doesn't change, hasn't changed and won't change my life." KISS did the show without Stanley, performing for the first time as a three-piece band.
