Slash and Chris Stapleton Guilherme Neto One night after Chris Stapleton joined Guns N’ Roses onstage in Toronto, band members returned the favor as the country singer took the stage at the same venue Thursday.
Stapleton — a one-time Guns N’ Roses opening act — first joined GNR at Rogers Stadium on Wednesday to perform “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door.” With Stapleton booked for the same Toronto venue on Thursday — and with GNR still in town — Slash and Duff McKagan made a surprise appearance to back Stapleton on the Lies classic “Patience”:
After “Patience,” Slash hung around to accompany Stapleton for a cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Oh Well”; Stapleton and Slash previously collaborated on the studio version of that song for the guitarist’s 2024 solo album Orgy of the Damned.
