Last week, a pre-save link for a new Guns N' Roses track, "Perhaps", briefly appeared on Spotify and Apple Music via the Universal Music website indicating that it would be released on Friday, August 11th, but it was later pulled. Additionally, the band hadn't issued an official announcement regarding the release.

According to reports from several fans, "Perhaps" accidentally leaked this weekend via digital TouchTunes jukeboxes found in bars. It turns out the GN'R catalogues found on the jukeboxes now include the song along with the official single artwork. The single is / will be released through the band's longtime label, Geffen Records.

GOOD MORNING TO GUNS N’ ROSES FANS ONLY

In case you missed it, Perhaps leaked last night via a jukebox at a bar. Pick a local bar with TouchTunes and you, too, can go listen. A release on streaming platforms surely is imminent but we will never forget the night of August 12th. pic.twitter.com/du6JaQk9s8

Guns N' Roses brought their ongoing World Tour to Park HaYarkon in Tel Aviv, Israel on June 5th. During the soundcheck for the show, the band played through the unreleased song, "Perhaps", one of the tracks from the sessions for their Chinese Democracy album, issued in 2008.

Fans waiting outside the venue captured the band sound checking "Perhaps", and you can listen to the clips below.  According to Setlist.fm, GN'R's soundcheck that day also included "It's So Easy", "Bad Obsession", "Pretty Tied Up", "Anything Goes", and "Down On The Farm".

Guns N’ Roses recently announced the artists that will support the tour’s North American leg: Superstar Carrie Underwood, The Pretenders, Alice In Chains, The Warning, and Dirty Honey. In addition, the band will be adding new shows: one in Pittsburgh, PA at PNC Park on Friday, August 18 and another in Seattle, WA at Climate Pledge Arena on Saturday, October 14.

This is the first time the group have toured North America since the monumental We’re F’N Back! Tour in 2021 - which also steamrolled stadiums coast-to-coast including their first headliner at Banc of California Stadium in Los Angeles, CA. Meanwhile, their now-legendary Not In This Lifetime… Tour (2016-2019) stands out as the “third-highest grossing tour of all time.”

Expanding their influence across culture, Guns N’ Roses also notably just sponsored Erik Jones and the No. 43 in the Daytona 500. His race team, Legacy Motor Club is co-owned by NASCAR legends Richard Petty and Jimmie Johnson who shared his excitement on Twitter.
