Myles Kennedy has teased a new album from his collaborative band with Slash, saying that the material written for it thus far “is really exciting stuff”.
Slash and Myles Kennedy and The Co-Conspirators were formed following the release of the Guns N’ Roses‘ guitarist’s debut solo album in 2010, which featured the Alter Bridge frontman on two tracks. The band would go on to release 2012’s ‘Apocalyptic Love’, 2014’s ‘World On Fire’, 2018’s ‘Living The Dream’, and 2022’s ‘4’.
In an interview on SiriusXM’s Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk, Kennedy spoke about the band’s upcoming album, revealing that songwriting had started prior to his solo tour last month.
“The easy part is the recording; the hard part is the writing,” he said, per transcription by Blabbermouth.
“[Slash] was sending me demos of the tunes. Then I was spending time with him, coming up with melodies and lyrics. And so that’s all done — I think with the exception of one song. Now I just have to find a moment to get in the studio and all that, knock that out.”
“But I will say that just even in the demo process and where we stood there before they went in to actually make the record musically, it is really exciting stuff. I’m really, really stoked about where this one’s going. It’s gonna be cool.”
This year, Kennedy toured as a solo artist following the release of his third album ‘The Art Of Letting Go’ in October. Meanwhile, Slash has been busy with various projects, along with planning a Guns N’ Roses tour for 2025.
Earlier this month, Alice Cooper, his daughter Calico, and Slash teamed up for a motorcycle-themed kids song named ‘Freewheelin”.
However, 2024 was also a dark year for Slash, as his stepdaughter Lucy-Bleu Knight passed away at age 25 in July.
Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso honored Shyne with a key to the city during a ceremony held at the East Flatbush Young Men’s Mentorship Expo on Saturday. The recognition highlighted both his influence in hip hop and his contributions as a public figure and advocate. Reynoso also declared April 25, 2026 as “Shyne Day” in Brooklyn.
“Shyne embodies what is possible when a community believes in its young people, and the magic that can happen when young people are given the resources they need to thrive. East Flatbush raised Shyne, and it only made sense to present him with the Key to Brooklyn as we team up to deliver hope and opportunity to dozens of young men today,” Reynoso said at the event, as caught by BK Reader.
Shyne also addressed the crowd. “This is the community that raised me, and it’s important for me to pass that love forward,” he said. “There couldn’t be a better way to celebrate this milestone than coming back home and pouring into the next generation.” He also revealed that everyone in attendance would receive complimentary tickets to his 25th anniversary concert on May 2 at the Kings Theatre.
The show will mark 25 years since the release of his self titled debut studio album, which arrived on September 26, 2000. Even while Shyne was incarcerated at the time, the project debuted and reached number five on the Billboard 200 chart. It moved close to 160,000 units in its opening week.
Earlier this week, Shyne posted a video of himself standing outside the Kings Theatre on Instagram while promoting the upcoming performance. "Can’t wait to see you this Saturday, May 2 @kingsbklyn as we celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Shyne Album…..the celebration will continue @crownhilltheatre where I will meet, take pictures and party with you, my loyal supporters, who’ve made Shyne a Rap Legend," he captioned the post. Fans filled the comments with fire emojis in response.
