In a new interview with Forbes, Guns N Roses guitarist Richard Fortus says the band hopes to release new music in 2020. As the band continues the “Not In This Lifetime” tour they continue to pull from GNR’s entire catalog, “We love bringing new songs in. We always rehearse stuff up. It’s just a matter of everyone sort of feeling comfortable to integrate it into the show. I hope that we have new music out this coming year.”

Asked what he is excited about for GN’R in 2020, Fortus said: “I’m excited to go back to South America in March, then we’ll be in Europe in the summer. And doing the festivals in Europe is always a lot of fun because you get to see lots of great bands and friends that you don’t normally see.”

Rumors have been circulating since the reuinion was announced in 2015, that new music from the band — the first to feature the three “classic-lineup” members since 1993 — was in the works. There has been evidence from people close to the band they have recorded at least a cover song, possibly for a Record Store Day release.

Last September, Slash told SiriusXM’s “Trunk Nation” that writing new material for Guns N Roses was the “focus” for the coming months. Slash also talked about whether Guns N Roses fans can expect to see new music from the band in the form of standalone singles or as a full-length record. He explained: “I think at the end of the day, everybody wants to have a full album released. I don’t think that’s really changed all that much. But there’s a different way of putting stuff out initially nowadays more so than… I mean, there’s always been the single, but now you sort of look at that preliminary release a little bit differently now. All things considered, it’s like the Wild West out there; there is no formula for any of it. [Laughs] I haven’t seen any routine kind of thing that works. I mean, you can do any one of a million different things to releasing a record. But at the end of the day, I think that we will ultimately release a full album.”
