The Dead Daisies, featuring former members of Guns 'n' Roses, will tour Cuba this month in a first for a US rock band since the easing of decades of tensions. The hard rockers plan a week of recording sessions with local artists and other events in Havana culminating in a performance on February 28 at the Cuba Rocks for Peace concert at open-air Salon Rosado de la Tropical. The band said that the tour would be the first for a major US act since President Barack Obama's landmark announcement in December that Washington would seek to repair relations with Cuba and ease decades of economic pressure against the communist island. "With the long overdue changes in diplomacy just ahead, it feels like the right time to come and hang," said keyboardist Dizzy Reed, who was previously with Guns 'N' Roses.
