SLASH (VELVET REVOLVER, ex-GUNS N' ROSES) is currently working on his next solo album with vocalist Myles Kennedy of ALTER BRIDGE. Rounding out the group is bassist Todd Kerns (SIN CITY SINNERS), drummer Brent Fitz (ex-ALICE COOPER) and guitarist Bobby Schneck. In a brand new update from the studio the guitar legend reveals: "Looks like we'll be finished recording next week. Then mixing begins. It's all going on."

The as yet untitled effort is expected to be released in May. Thus far, three song titles have been leaked: ‘Halo’, ‘Standing In The Sun’ and ‘Bad Rain’.

After an overwhelming appearance at CMW in 2010 and a platinum-selling self-titled album in Canada immediately thereafter, Slash will be returning to this year's Slacker Canadian Music Week to participate in a celebrity interview on Friday, March 23rd at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel before a sold-out performance later that evening at The Phoenix Concert Theatre.

His career originated as guitarist for the iconic rock band GUNS N' ROSES and has evolved on his own with SLASH'S SNAKEPIT, VELVET REVOLVER and now his solo efforts. His tours have taken him around the globe more times than most and have seen him perform hundreds of shows in front of thousands of fans - each one with its own tale to tell.

In a command interview with media personalities John Roberts (Fox News Senior National Correspondent) and Kyra Phillips (CNN Newsroom anchor), attendees will have an intimate opportunity to hear Slash address the virtues of touring, the impact of live performance and fan engagement, recount some of his most memorable moments from the road, as well as reveal the details of his sophomore solo album set to release in May.
