A group of Italian Guns N' Roses fans have launched an online campaign in a bid to force the original members of the band to reunite for next year's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

The group are favorites to be added to the Cleveland, Ohio museum in April and devotees hope the big occasion will bring Axl Rose, Slash, Duff McKagan and Izzy Stradlin back together.

Fans are being asked to sign a petition on website forum GNRonline.it - the biggest online Italian community dedicated to Guns N' Roses.

A spokesman for the fansite tells WENN, "We know the delicacy of such matter, but with the passion, determination and a little bit of recklessness that has always been part of the spirit of the Gnronline community, we intend to spread our plea for at least a one night reunion.

"We see in the plausible Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, which will take place in April 2012, a unique possibility to make this happen. Perhaps the only one."
