Rock N Roll Allstars Concerts In Trouble?

The star laden tour has had all but one of its shows cancelled

Published 25th Apr 2012

The touring band contains an amazing cast of stars, including Gene Simmons (KISS), Joe Elliott (DEF LEPPARD), Matt Sorum (VELVET REVOLVER, GUNS N' ROSES), Duff McKagan (VELVET REVOLVER, GUNS N' ROSES), Gilby Clarke (GUNS N' ROSES, ROCK STAR SUPERNOVA), Glenn Hughes (BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION, DEEP PURPLE, BLACK SABBATH), Ed Roland (COLLECTIVE SOUL), Sebastian Bach (SKID ROW), Steve Stevens (BILLY IDOL), Mike Inez (ALICE IN CHAINS) and Billy Duffy (THE CULT) but it seems that their tour has been curtailed.

The band played a warm up show in Argentina at the weekend and they were scheduled to play shows in six other countries this month. However, they have now cancelled all of their shows except the one in Peru.

A statement from the band said:

"Rock 'N' Roll Allstars regret to inform our fans that the shows we had scheduled in Ecuador, Colombia, Costa Rica, Panama, Guatemala and Venezuela have been cancelled. An incredible effort was made to work with local promoters to bring our show to the fans but they made it impossible for us to do so. We are saddened that we will not be coming to Central America and will do everything possible to ensure that our fans receive refunds for all tickets purchased. We are in South America and just had amazing shows in Paraguay and Argentina where thousands of fans came to hear the hits of GUNS N' ROSES, KISS, DEF LEPPARD and more. The show in Lima, Peru on April 27 at Jockey Club is still on sale and the band is still playing this show. Thank you for your support and we hope to see each and every one of you soon."

There's no specific reason for the cancellations just yet.
