PHOENIX — Guns N’ Roses are coming to the real “Paradise City:” The rock-and-roll legends announced they will be stopping in Phoenix on their latest reunion tour.

The group — made up of original vocalist Axl Rose, lead guitarist Slash and bassist Duff McKagan, along with the rest of the band — officially announced their North American tour on Friday.

The announcement specified the 21 cities Guns N’ Roses will be hitting on their somewhat-reunion tour and the band will be in the Valley on Aug. 15 at University of Phoenix Stadium.

Former members guitarist Slash and bass player Duff McKagan will join lead singer Axl Rose for the first time since 1993, according to a statement.
