Guns N' Roses legend Slash has revealed that he's in talks to perform at Download Festival this summer.

The 44-year-old guitarist – real name Saul Hudson – says he's eyeing up some European festival dates following the release of his eponymous debut solo album on May 10th.

He told Radio 1's Newsbeat:  "I know we were talking about doing Download and there's a couple of other ones. We'll do some around Germany as well."

Slash also said that there will be some live shows in the near future, adding: "We're going to start doing shows in April and a couple of shows in May.

"Then I'm going to start touring properly in June doing the summer festivals in the UK."

As reported earlier this month, 'Slash' features an array of special guests including Dave Grohl, Ozzy Osbourne, Iggy Pop, Lemmy Kilmeister and Kid Rock.

The track-listing is as follows:

1. Ghost (Ian Astbury)
2. Beautiful Dangerous (Fergie)
3. Nothing To Say (M Shadows)
4. Crucify The Dead (Ozzy Osbourne)
5. Promise (Chris Cornell)

  • Slash is incredibly talented, some of the best vibratto of any guitarist. I hope he finds a good singer to replace Scott Weiland, he deserves it.
