ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI) - Guns and Roses made an announcement on their website in March that St. Louis would be a stop this summer on the, "Not In This Lifetime Tour." July 2, 2016 marks the 25 year anniversary of the “Riverport Riot.” It looks like the band had a change of heart.

The official tour date schedule on the website no longer includes the Gateway to the West.

A Gun N' Roses spokesman tells the Riverfront Times that the band will not be performing in St. Louis this summer. She says the show was cancelled due to a lack of a venue that was willing or able to host it.

When you go to GunsNRoses.com a splash page comes up that says, "April Fools?" So is this all part of an elaborate joke? It would have taken weeks and mislead thousands of fans in the Midwest. That is not beyond the band who was famously ejected from town.

A fan at the center of the "Riverport Riot" talked to FOX 2 last week. Bill “Stump” Stephenson was taking photographs at the 1991 concert, even though photography was prohibited.

Axl Rose called for security to get the camera and eventually jumped into the crowd himself. The concert ended and fans started ripping out chairs and throwing pieces of equipment from the stage.

There’s no word if the 1991 riot had anything to do with the 2016 St. Louis date being dropped.
