Tool have denied reports that their new album has been completed, insisting that comments the band's guitarist made to a fan were merely a joke.
Reports began circulating yesterday after guitarist Adam Jones apparently told a fan at a V.I.P. meet and greet that the album was "100% finished" and ready to be released.
In a statement to Rolling Stone though, the band said, "Last night, Adam Jones, in a private conversation with fans attending the Portland Tool concert, joked that the band's new album was not only finished but coming out the next day. Unfortunately, his off-the-cuff joke was taken out of context."
The statement continued to assure fans that "work on the forthcoming album is ongoing and as soon as it is done, trust me, we will be the first to let everyone know."
Jones also confirmed via his twitter account that the rumours were false, insisting that he added "just kidding" after making the erroneous comments.
hello greg. fyi "the record's done and its coming out tomorrow" is what i said yesterday followed by "just kidding"...

It's been 8 years since Tool last released an album, and the follow up to 2006's 10,000 Days has been the subject of much speculation. Sadly though, fans are just going to have to wait a little while longer.
