Guns N Roses to release album in November?

‘Chinese Democracy’ rumoured to be ready

Guns N' Roses are rumoured to be releasing a new album this year.

The band’s much delayed ’Chinese Democracy’ record has been the subject of much speculation after frontman Axl Rose indicated he has been working on the record for nearly a decade.

The group’s recent return to playing live – including a series of tours and festival appearance – has increased the anticipation of the album’s impending release and now internet reports have claimed the record will be out next month.

The possibility of ’Chinese Democracy’ appearing in November rose after the band announced a series of tour dates – kicking off in Jacksonville on October 20 – and ended their statement with the cryptic phrase: "There are 13 Tuesdays left between now and the end of the year", referring to the day of the week that albums come out in America.

Now Rolling Stone have claimed the record will finally see the light of day on November 21 (suggesting the possibility of a UK release for November 20).

This date however has not been confirmed by Guns N' Roses label or management so far.
