Guitar World is reporting that, in the interim, longtime friend of the band Greg Edwards (ex-Failure, Autolux) will perform on the dates, which begin April 14th in Tucson, Arizona.

A Perfect Circle, who release their fourth full-length album Eat The Elephant on April 20th via BMG, have released the video for “Disillusioned”. Check it out below.

The collectible vinyl has a dual pressing of both songs on Side A and a screen-printed B-side. Order one of the few remaining copies from the band here or pick one up at select retailers.

Pre-orders for Eat The Elephant, which was co-produced by Dave Sardy (Autolux, Slayer), are available here, and come with instant digital downloads of “TalkTalk”, “Disillusioned” and “The Doomed”. Eat The Elephant is being released in multiple formats including digital, CD, double gatefold 180-gram vinyl and a box set with vinyl, CD and hi-res digital download as well as a prism and custom playing card deck.
