VELVET REVOLVER To Perform On 'The Late Show With David Letterman'

August 17, 2007

On a day off from their current tour with ALICE IN CHAINS, VELVET REVOLVER will appear on "The Late Show With David Letterman" on Wednesday, August 22 for an exclusive television performance of "Libertad"'s newly released second single "The Last Fight".

The melodically transcendent and emotionally cathartic "The Last Fight" is one of the songs inspired by the recent passing of frontman Scott Weiland's brother Michael. In an August 3 interview with The Sun (UK newspaper),Scott explained, "'Libertad' is dedicated to Michael. It is a fitting album title as my brother was certainly searching for his own liberty and freedom up to the way he died. I was really angry at him at first, for my parents and our family but I was able to channel this anger and grief into songs as 'The Last Fight' and 'For A Brother'. It made me come to terms with how sad I was."

"Libertad" (RCA Records),released July 3, debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard Top 200 Album chart amidst a field of rap, pop and country music. The album's first single, "She Builds Quick Machines", has been dominating the rock charts, hitting the Top 3 at Active Rock and Top 4 at Mainstream Rock.

As previously reported, VELVET REVOLVER has just been confirmed as a special guest at KROQ's massive L.A. Invasion on Saturday, September 15 at the Home Depot Center, where they'll perform along with such artists as THE SMASHING PUMPKINS and FOO FIGHTERS.
