Guns N’ Roses guitarist Richard Fortus says the band will release new material next year.
He’s been wrapped up with his other outfit The Dead Daisies who played last weekend’s Download and released their second album Revolucion earlier this month.
Fortus tells Stormbringer of GnR’s future: “We’re going to be doing stuff next year. We’re not going to have anything out this year. Next year it should be out and we’ll be touring.”
In April the band’s DJ Ashba refuted claims they’d split following speculation that guitarist Ron ‘Bumblefoot’ Thal had either left or wanted to leave. Fortus spoke about Axl Rose earlier this year, saying the frontman wasn’t motivated by money.
The Dead Daisies are currently on tour with Kiss and will head out on the road with Whitesnake this winter.
