Their decision to surprise the audience by bringing guitarist Slash on stage was nothing short of brilliant. As the band kicked off their performance with a Guns N' Roses classic, "Sweet Child O' Mine," Slash emerged, striking the iconic opening riff. Fergie, the lead vocalist, swiftly joined in, but her choice to imitate Axl Rose's distinctive voice for the cover received mixed reactions from fans, as some preferred her to embrace her own unique style.
