GUNS N' ROSES guitarist Slash has revealed to Yahoo! Entertainment that he is working on his second "solo" album. The follow-up to 2010's "Slash" is described by the 57-year-old axeman as having "a bunch of different singers" and being "sort of similar to my first solo record, which featured Fergie, Adam Levine, Ozzy Osbourne, Dave Grohl, Lemmy Kilmister, Chris Cornell, Nicole Scherzinger and other vocalists, but "more blues-oriented."
According to Slash, the upcoming LP, which will "definitely" come out in 2024, will include a guest appearance by pop superstar Demi Lovato.
"There's not really much more to tell you at this point, but [Lovato and I] definitely recorded something," he said.
In addition to their collaboration for Slash's next solo album, the GN'R guitarist guested on Lovato's rock version of her 2017 song "Sorry Not Sorry", which will appear on her "Revamped" LP, due out in September.
"I told her, Hey, if you ever need me to put some guitar on something, just let me know and I'll do it," he said. "And so she hit me back about two weeks, three weeks later, and said she's got this song that she's doing a remake of and asked if I'd put some guitar on that. [GUNS N’ ROSES] did a show in Norway and I had a day off, so I found a cool engineer and studio in Norway and just put the guitars on there. It's amazing how fast it came out."
Slash added that the two tracks sound "completely different" from each other. "So it's interesting how diverse her voice can be," he said.
Although Slash's upcoming LP will be his second under the "Slash" banner, he has released a handful of albums with his long-running band SLASH FEATURING MYLES KENNEDY & THE CONSPIRATORS, in which he is joined by ALTER BRIDGE frontman Myles Kennedy.
Last month, Slash said that he will resume touring with SLASH FEATURING MYLES KENNEDY & THE CONSPIRATORS next year.
The GUNS N' ROSES guitarist revealed a timetable for SLASH FEATURING MYLES KENNEDY & THE CONSPIRATORS' return to the road while discussing his plans for the coming months in an interview with NME. He said: "I'm on tour with GUNS N' ROSES until October, then in January I go out with my other band THE CONSPIRATORS."
SLASH FEATURING MYLES KENNEDY & THE CONSPIRATORS' latest album, "4", was released in February 2022 via Gibson Records in partnership with BMG.
"4" was Slash's fifth solo album and fourth overall with his band featuring Kennedy, Brent Fitz (drums),Todd Kerns (bass, vocals) and Frank Sidoris (guitar, vocals).
