Former Guns N’ Roses drummer Matt Sorum shared a new photo of himself behind the drums on Instagram. The post attracted significant attention after Guns N’ Roses announced their separation from current drummer Frank Ferrer.
“Drums and music have taken me around the world!!” Sorum wrote in his caption. Fans quickly responded with speculation about a possible reunion. One fan said, “You are the New Guns drummer…I bet my money.”
Another fan commented, “The mystery deepens… GN’R post about their drummer leaving. Matt posts a picture of him on the drums. Please let it be true!” Another expressed their conviction, stating, “You are the only Drummer for Guns n Roses and you know it. Slash, what are you waiting just call him.”
Sorum’s history with the band and recent activities provide important context to these developments.
