Slash Says Goodbye to X/Twitter: “It’s Time to Move On”
Slash is officially signing off from X, and this time, it’s for real.
The Guns N’ Roses icon posted what appears to be his final message on the platform, letting fans know he won’t be active there anymore. After dealing with multiple hacks and feeling like it was time for a change, he’s ready to move on.

He didn’t call out Elon Musk or get into platform politics, but his message hints at a bigger disconnection beyond just security issues.
Big Changes, Big Tour
Slash’s exit from X comes right as Guns N’ Roses gear up for a massive international tour starting in May. Depending on the stop, the band will be joined by acts like Public Enemy, Rival Sons, and Sex Pistols Featuring Frank Carter, so expect a wild lineup.
And there’s more: GNR will be part of Black Sabbath’s final concert on July 5 in Birmingham, a once-in-a-lifetime moment for rock fans.
There’s also been a lineup shakeup within the band. Drummer Frank Ferrer recently stepped away, and in his place, Isaac Carpenter, known for his work with AWOLNATION - is now behind the kit.
Big Changes, Big Tour
Slash’s departure from X lines up with a major moment for Guns N’ Roses. The band is gearing up for an international 2025 tour kicking off in May, with rotating support from Public Enemy, Rival Sons, and Sex Pistols Featuring Frank Carter.
They’ll also be part of rock history this summer, joining Black Sabbath’s final concert on July 5 in Birmingham, England, a full-circle moment for fans of classic rock.
Meanwhile, the band is going through some changes behind the scenes. Longtime drummer Frank Ferrer recently parted ways with GNR, and Isaac Carpenter of AWOLNATION fame has stepped in behind the kit.
What’s Next for Slash?
Outside of Guns N’ Roses, Slash continues to build his own legacy. His side project, Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators, has been touring steadily and releasing new music that blends blues, hard rock, and soul.
He also recently hinted at new material in the works, teasing fans with short clips and rehearsal photos—most of which he now shares exclusively through Instagram and TikTok.
If you’re looking for Slash tour dates, merch drops, or updates on his next solo album, those platforms are now the place to be.
Stay Connected
While Slash leaving X marks the end of an era, it also shows how the landscape of fan engagement is shifting. Social media may be evolving, but the connection between artists and fans is still strong just happening in new places.
