As previously reported, VELVET REVOLVER has just been confirmed as a special guest at KROQ’s massive L.A. Invasion - Saturday, September 15th at the Home Depot Center, where they’ll perform along with such artists as THE SMASHING PUMPKINS and FOO FIGHTERS.

On a day off from their tour, Velvet Revolver will appear on The Late Show With David Letterman - Wednesday, August 22nd - for an exclusive television performance of Libertad’s newly released second single 'The Last Fight'.

The melodically transcendent and emotionally cathartic 'The Last Figh'” is one of the songs inspired by the recent passing of frontman Scott Weiland’s brother Michael. In an August 3rd interview with The Sun (UK newspaper), Scott explained: “Libertad is dedicated to Michael. It is a fitting album title as my brother was certainly searching for his own liberty and freedom up to the way he died. I was really angry at him at first, for my parents and our family but I was able to channel this anger and grief into songs as ‘The Last Fight’ and ‘For A Brother'. It made me come to terms with how sad I was.”

Libertad (RCA Records), released July 3rd, debuted at #5 on the Billboard Top 200 Album chart amidst a field of rap, pop and country music. The album’s first single, 'She Builds Quick Machines', has been dominating the rock charts, hitting the Top 3 at Active Rock and Top 4 at Mainstream Rock.
