Guns N’ Roses have revealed that they are “in negotiations” to release their long-awaited new album, ‘Chinese Democracy’.

Writing on their website, the band failed to specify anything about a deal for the album, which was last scheduled for release last year.

In their message, the band also addressed the departure of Robin Finck, who has returned to work with Nine Inch Nails.

"Robin's plans caught everyone in Guns, as well as our fans, a bit off-guard," the statement read.

"Neither we nor management, etc., know any more in this regard and we prefer not to speculate or offer opinions at this time."

Guns N’s Roses added that they would “see where things are” when it comes to putting tour plans together.
