VR bassist Duff McKagan recently told JournalLive that the band might have a new singer by the end of next month, McKagan said:

"We have a guy who we've been working with who's a really good singer and a great guy. I really hope he's the one. The question is, does he have that extra thing? It's just really hard to tell until you do a gig. There's a lot of expectation. In truth, he has to be killer to front Velvet Revolver. We're writing amazing material and I really think the new record will be the best thing that we've done as a band. So do we have the right singer to do that music justice?"
