Guns N’ Roses announce departure of drummer Frank Ferrer after 19 years in the band
Guns N’ Roses have confirmed the “amicable exit” of their longtime drummer Frank Ferrer, who played his last show with the band in November 2023.
After the Axl Rose rumours last week, now Slash is teasing a new Guns N' Roses track, Hard School…
Following last week's rumours of a new Guns N' Roses song coming, now Slash is teasing the track himself!
At a show in Atlantic City on September 14, frontman Axl Rose had reportedly told a fan backstage that the hard rock legends would be releasing their new single Hard School soon, also playing for it for them in full.
Since then, Slash has taken to TikTok to share a snippet of himself performing the song – which is apparently from the long-running Chinese Democracy sessions and had the working title of Jackie Chan – at a soundcheck. Not alluding to what the hell is going on, he simply writes, "Wrigley Field soundcheck Chicago 8.16.21" Cryptic!

Hard School will follow August's fellow 'new' track ABSUЯD, which, again, was written during the Chinese Democracy sessions.
In April 2020, meanwhile, bassist Duff McKagan’s wife, Susan Holmes McKagan, teased: "I will say Guns N’ Roses have been working fastidiously on some killer new stuff. I can’t say much, but I’ve heard bits and bobs and it’s pretty epic. I do want to spread good news, but not detailed news, I guess. Hopefully that’ll put a spring in your step!"
