Stream Free gives free and easy access to SiriusXM's full lineup of Premier Streaming content to any listener in North America on the SiriusXM app. "It's like catching lightning in a bottle for SiriusXM to be able to offer authorized channels from these iconic artists, not only to our subscribers, but at a time when our app is free to everyone," said Scott Greenstein, president and chief content officer of SiriusXM. "These channels, combined with our already incredible set of artist-dedicated channels, makes SiriusXM the ultimate audio destination to bring fans closer to the artists they love, and at a time when people can use some great music." Guns N' Roses Radio will feature music from the band's entire iconic career, including their monumental 1987 "Appetite For Destruction" album, live tracks and rarities. The limited-run music channel will also include music by artists who have influenced GUNS N' ROSES as well as those that have toured with the band.

The channel will provide fans exclusive access to the sounds and insights from Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones, as well as the songs that made LED ZEPPELIN rock legends. In addition to their epic songs, listeners will hear early rough mixes, alternate versions, remasters and momentous performances captured live.
