Adelitas Way support Guns N' Roses on tour

Adelitas Way are no strangers to life on the road having toured with Theory of A Deadman, Black Stone Cherry, and Emphatic amongst others, but, their most unforgettable gig came at the end of 2011. Guns N' Roses came calling and Adelitas Way was there to deliver. Playing two sold-out arena shows, the band was invited back for a third time on New Year's Eve. Lead singer Rick DeJesus was in shock as he explained, "Since I was a kid it's always been a dream to open up for Guns N' Roses…"

In 2011, Adelitas Way released two hit singles from their sophomore album Home School Valedictorian.

The group now prepares to take its third single, power ballad, "Alive" to radio this spring. "The Collapse" follows previous single "Sick" which during its 27 weeks on the charts, rose to No. 1 at Active Rock and has over a million and a half hits on YouTube all thanks to the group's huge fan-base, which continues to grow due to "incredible songwriting, and an amazing work ethic," as Hails and Horns magazine raved in a recent feature on the band.

When it came to this year's NFL playoffs Adelitas Way again stepped up, playing at the at the AFC Championship game at Foxboro Stadium, which lead the New England Patriots to a spot in this year's Super bowl.

Adelitas Way is Rick DeJesus, vocals; Keith Wallen, guitar; Derek Johnston, bass; Trevor Stafford, drums.
