LONDON: Former Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash has claimed that he turned down millions to reunite with the band. In an interview with GQ magazine, the musician said that there were “seven, eight digit” sums of money being offered for him to rejoin Axl Rose, who is fronting the current incarnation of the band. But he has refused the amount because he is not interested in a reunion.

“I can’t remember exact numbers, but it’s excessive — Oh, you know, seven, eight digit kinds of things,” the Mirror quoted Slash as saying. “I am a pretty realistic kind of person, and don’t expend energy worrying, ‘What if? If I hear great music we did together, I respect it for what it was and appreciate it. But I’m not like everyone else around the band who wants to somehow try to recreate it because there’s so much money to be made,” he added. Slash left Guns N’ Roses in 1996.
