<P> While originally slated to commence in Las Vegas on April 8 , 2016 , a previously unannounced warmup gig at the Troubadour in Los Angeles took place on April 1 , 2016 . Rumors of the secret show had started the night before , and fans were starting to gather outside the old Tower Records building at Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood . Rumblings that a ticket sale for the show would take place there started a line of people that grew during the night and into the early morning of April 1 . Then , during the morning , the announcement came that the rumors were true and tickets for the club show would go on sale at 12 pm at the Tower Records building . They charged a $10 `` retro '' ticket price for the show . Later in the evening , as the band took the stage at the Troubadour , it was revealed that Melissa Reese , who has previously worked with former drummer Bryan `` Brain '' Mantia on several projects , had replaced longtime second keyboardist Chris Pitman for the tour . During the show at the Troubadour , Rose fell and broke his foot . For the following concerts , Rose was given Dave Grohl 's customized throne that Grohl used to perform when he broke his leg at a concert . </P>
