Elton John and Eric Clapton have teamed up for a joint tour that will play stadiums in New York and Los Angeles this month. Heavy-metal masters Guns N' Roses and Metallica, who recently completed separate arena tours, have joined for a circuit of stadium concerts in 22 cities across the country, through Sept. 4.
