Velvet Revolver guitarist Slash's forthcoming solo album will feature collaborations with Ozzy Osbourne and Fergie, it's been revealed.

The guitarist's wife, Perla, told celebrity entertainment site Rockerrazzi: "It's going to be Slash and friends, with everyone from Ozzy (Osbourne) to Fergie.”

She also echoed her husband's recent positive reaction to former band Guns N' Roses new album 'Chinese Democracy', which was released on Monday.

"He feels great about it. It's long-awaited," she said. "Our kids like it but they also like Elmo, so that goes without saying."

Earlier this month, Slash said he was “glad” the band were finally releasing the album. “It's good to hear Axl's voice again. That's what's cool,” he added.

Slash's solo album is due to be released in 2009.
