Steven Adler issued this statement in regards to his upcoming projects:
“We have been in the studio all week putting together new original music for a spring/summer release. The songs sound great! It feels so good to be moving forward! It’s been a long time coming, but will be worth the wait. We will be debuting some of the new songs at The Key Club on April 10th. I want you all to be there! Plenty of time to plan your trip to Los Angeles.”
Adler was fired from Guns N’ Roses in 1989 amid rumours the drummer’s drug use was hampering his performance.
