AceShowbiz - The legendary rock band Guns N’ Roses will begin their world tour on March 28, 2026, but fans will notice the absence of Melissa Reese, the band’s longtime keyboardist. The group announced that Reese will not be participating due to "unforeseen personal reasons."

The tour is set to kick off in Mexico and will continue through various international venues, concluding with a final show in Atlanta on September 9. As of now, the band has not revealed who will fill Reese’s position on keyboards during the tour. Representatives for the band have yet to provide further comments or clarifications.

Melissa Reese first joined Guns N’ Roses during their 2016 reunion tour. She was brought on board through the recommendation of Caram Costanzo, the producer of the band’s album Chinese Democracy, who sought a keyboardist with a distinctive and exceptional skill set.

In a 2020 interview, Reese described her journey with the band as a source of motivation and growth. She said those experiences fueled her determination to excel and break barriers. Over the years, she has performed at hundreds of live shows with Guns N’ Roses, becoming an integral part of their sound and stage presence.
