After much speculation, it appears that fans of Guns N' Roses may be very close to getting their wish of seeing the original members of the band reunite once again. 

After news that Axl Rose and Slash had finally ended their long-running feud, there have been suggestions that the pair were thinking about getting the old band back together.

Those rumorus were given some extra fuel when John Murdy, a friend of Slash and boss of Universal Studios theme park, stated that "Slash and Axl talking again is a really good sign" for the possibility of a reunion, while keyboard player Dizzy Reed said that for the band "timelines don’t really apply [but] things will come out when they're ready and we'll go on tour".

Scott Weiland, singer of Velvet Revolver and someone who would have spent plenty of time with Slash and Duff McKagan, revealed in an interview last week that "I think that Guns N' Roses are getting back together", but refused to provide further detail or evidence than simply adding "I just heard that".

This week, an "exclusive" report from DishNation stated that the band are planning to bring the old lineup back together in Portugal (first the Web Summit, now this), and that they are mere "days away" from making an official announcement on that front.

Furthermore, Susan Holmes-McKagan (Duff McKagan's wife) and friend Brandi Glanville were filmed at a benefit event recently, during which Glanville exclaimed "Guns N' Roses is coming back, motherf***ers!", to which Holmes McKagan added "woooh!". 

Finally, a series of strange tweets from the band's account, seemingly about the reports of the rumours, have added to the speculation. 

Best guesses suggest that the band could earn at least £65 million from getting back together for a tour, which would be a huge incentive, while Alex Villa, a marketing expert based in Los Angeles estimated that the figure could be even greater, stating "the band only need to do a year on the road and would never have to worry about money again in their lives".
