Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole has revealed that original Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan has offered to lend them his band to tour with.

McKagan, who currently plays with Velvet Revolver, has previously expressed his fondness for the British girl group.

“Girls Aloud — I’m like, ‘What the hell is this?’ It’s amazing, like great pop songs, you know — like the whole stick . . . I think it’s brilliant,” he said in an interview with the Sun newspaper.

Speaking about McKagan's comments, Cole told Attitude: “He offered to give us his band to take with us on tour. I mean, Guns N’ Roses? What’s going on?”

Cole failed to elaborate as to which band McKagan was referring to.
