In a 2015 interview with Rolling Stone a few months prior to the premiere of "Straight Outta Compton," Dr. Dre opened up on Eazy-E's death on March 26, 1995, and revealed that he and his former bandmate were able to somehow bury the hatchet only a few weeks before the latter's hospitalization.
"I was so fortunate to be able to get on the phone with him and talk about maybe putting N.W.A back together, and we chopped it up about old times and what have you and maybe not even two weeks after that, he was in the hospital," Dre recalled. "So the last time I actually saw him, he didn't know I was in the room. He was on life support. I just reached down and whispered a few words in his ear and I think maybe the next day or two he passed away. We had a chance to rekindle it and actually get back in the studio again."
It may have been decades since we last heard new music from N.W.A, but the group has reunited a few times since Eazy's death, albeit for one-off appearances at major events. Brief as it was, Dre joined Ice Cube, MC Ren, and DJ Yella on stage at Coachella in 2016 (via the Los Angeles Times), just days after their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
