Music superstar Carrie Underwood surprised fans during her “Denim and Rhinestones” tour stop in Los Angeles on Monday, March 13th, when she brought out Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose for a special duet. The two performed the band’s classic hit “Welcome to the Jungle” to the delight of the crowd.
Underwood, who has been a longtime fan of Guns N’ Roses, actually covers “Welcome to the Jungle” as her first encore song every night on her tour. However, this performance was extra special as she was joined on stage by Axl Rose himself.
This is not the first time the two have performed together. They previously took the stage together at the Stagecoach Festival in 2022, where they performed “Sweet Child O’ Mine” and “Paradise City.”
For Underwood, getting Rose to play with her at Stagecoach was a dream come true. She had been covering Guns N’ Roses for years and had always hoped to perform with the legendary musician. “The way I learned how to sing was I would pick really hard vocalists to try to emulate, and his voice always mesmerized me,” she told Rolling Stone. “So I told him all that…and he came!”
Underwood has also performed with other rock legends in the past, including Joan Jett and Ozzy Osbourne.
