The former Guns ‘n’ Roses guitarist makes a rare appearance in the Capital on Sunday night, promoting new solo album Apocalyptic Love at the Corn Exchange.
Part of a tour that takes in Europe, Australia, Asia and America, Slash describes the mammoth undertaking as simply trying to “broaden our horizons a bit”.

Hide AdOne of the most influential axesmiths around, Slash was recently honoured with a Star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, which came not long after his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a G’N’R member.
The former presentation was also notable for Charlie Sheen’s comments, who, in saluting Slash, said it was “quite fitting, I think, that Slash is getting a star on the very street that Axl Rose will one day be sleeping on.”
Born in London and raised in LA, the 47-year-old icon - real name Saul Hudson - will be bringing new vocalist, Myles Kennedy, along with him.
Tickets for this will be like gold-dust, so if you’re a lucky recipient... welcome to the jungle.
