A website linked with Guns N’ Roses showing all five original members in their Appetite For Destruction skeletal forms has been updated overnight.

Yesterday, we reported that the website GNR.FM which is registered by Universal Music Enterprises – featured the famous image of the band along with the words “Destruction Is Coming” followed by #AppetiteForDestruction.

The site now shows a countdown timer which runs out on Friday this week (May 4) and the option to tune into a Guns N’ Roses radio station. The only track that plays is a looped snippet of band’s song Shadow Of Your Love, which appeared on the 1988 Guns N’ Roses EP which was only released in Japan.

The website also encourages fans to share their location with the message: “Check back in to hear the next transmission and help share the broadcast.”

All will be revealed soon.

Guns N’ Roses will head out on tour across Europe this summer, including a headline set at the UK’s Download festival.
