Guns N' Roses joined by PINK onstage at Madison Square Garden

Blabbermouth.net - Pop superstar Pink joined GUNS N' ROSES on stage Wednesday (October 11) at Madison Square Garden in New York City to sing the third verse of GN'R's classic 1989 ballad "Patience".

GUNS N' ROSES thanked Pink in a tweet after the show. She took it all in her stride. "Oh. Yeah. Whatever. No problem," was her playful response.

The 2017 North American leg of GUNS N' ROSES' "Not In This Lifetime" tour kicked off July 27 in St. Louis, Missouri.

The trek features classic GUNS members Slash on guitar, Duff McKagan on bass and Axl Rose on vocals, backed by drummer Frank Ferrer, guitarist Richard Fortus, keyboardist Dizzy Reed and second keyboardist Melissa Reese.

About seventy people travel with the show in addition to the truck  drivers; that number goes upwards of fie hundred, including the local  workers, by show date once catering, security, etc. are factored in,  according to the tour's production manager, Dale "Opie" Skjerseth.

"Not In This Lifetime" continues Thursday (October 12) at New Jersey's Prudential Center.

GUNS kicked off its long-rumored and long-awaited reunion trek  in a year and a half ago with a club show in Hollywood and appearances  in Las Vegas and at California's Coachella festival.

Pink's seventh studio album, "Beautiful Trauma", will be released on Friday (October 13).
