Slash Eyes Up Slot At Download Festival

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."
