Roberta Freeman is an American singer, best known for her work with Guns N' Roses,[1] Pink Floyd,[1] Cinderella,[1] Engelbert Humperdinck,[2] and Mary Wilson's Supremes.[3] According to Rolling Stone, "Freeman was one of six women brought into the madness of GN’R for their marathon ‘Use Your Illusion’ tour."[4] Fellow female musicians include Traci Amos, Cece Worrall, Lisa Maxwell, Anne King and Diane Jones.
"All were brought on board in the early stages of the Use Your Illusion tour in the summer of 1991, and they stuck around until it wrapped up two years later. As touring members... they played a huge role in shaping the band’s sound during their commercial peak."[4]
