Duff McKagan of Guns N’ Roses will release his third solo album this year, which is set to feature fellow bandmate Slash as well as some other huge guest stars.
The album, titled Lighthouse, will arrive on 20 October this year, and will also feature Jerry Cantrell of Alice In Chains, and Iggy Pop. McKagan contributed to Pop’s 2023 album, Every Loser, and was a member of his live band while on his most recent tour.
The record features 11 tracks, and has a central theme of finding light amongst darkness. In a statement, McKagan says of the record (via NME): “The crashing… the cresting waves, the falling through of all that surrounds you. Life sometimes tosses us around, and we feel the want of comfort and the pull of home.
“A ship tossed like a toy through the Cape, sails ripped and the wood groaning with the scraping of its ballast…. a soul trying with all its might to find peace and a centre.”
He adds, “Find a lighthouse. I have my lighthouse…. its beacon swirling in the darkness with her warmth and promise of nurture, love, laughter, and all that is true. Won’t you be my lighthouse, give me light,… and bring me home.”
