Velvet Revolver split from label
Velvet Revolver have confirmed reports they've split from record label RCA.
In a posting on his website, guitarist Slash insists the supergroup and label executives have "parted amicably".
He claims the fact his band has no singer - after sacking Scott Weiland in April - and therefore cannot produce a contracted third album led to the label split.
He writes, "The truth is not as negative as the rumour. The band owed RCA money for a third album, which, at this time, they are unable to produce (no singer). The band and RCA parted amicably. When they are recording the new album, it most likely will be for a new label."
The group has yet to name a new frontman, but former Skid Row star Sebastian Bach and ex-Spacehog singer Royston Langdon have been linked to the vacancy in recent months.

Stewart confirms The Faces reunion
Rod Stewart has confirmed that 70s supergroup The Faces are set for a reunion, more than 30 years after the band split.
Earlier this week, website Raygigs.com reported that Stewart and other original members Ronnie Wood, Ian McLagan and Kenney Jones had booked a secret rehearsal slot next week to see if the band still had what it takes to launch a string of reunion shows next year.
Scheduling problems between the members has hampered previous comeback plans - but Stewart has confirmed that this time it is a reformation is definitely on.
He says, "Yes, absolutely. We have our first rehearsal on Monday. It will be next summer and I am looking forward to it. It'll be great."
And Stewart is adamant that Wood's recent break-up with wife of 23 years Jo won't hold the star back from giving everything to the tour.
He adds, "Ronnie is up for it. I think he feels great. He is full of energy and very excited. We try not to mix our family problems with work. I'll see him Monday."
The band has previously reunited for a handful of one-off gigs - Wood and McLagan performed with Stewart at the Hollywood Bowl in 2004.
Stewart's touring bass player is expected to complete the group, replacing late bassist Ronnie 'Plonk' Lane, who died in 1997.

Conman posed as rocker Francis Rossi at carnival
Residents of a seaside town were tricked by a conman who pretended he was a member of rock band Status Quo, a council member said.
When the trickster duped members of Dover Town Council in Kent into believing he was frontman Francis Rossi, they were so impressed they invited him to be guest of honour at the town's annual carnival parade.
Councillor Chris Precious said the man, whose true identity is unknown, spent the day enjoying the hospitality of the town's mayor before his secret was found out.
He said he did not believe him to be the chart-topping musician but went along with him as he did not want to spoil the day's festivities.
He said: "I was introduced to him and I thought to myself, if that's Francis Rossi, he's turned ginger, shrunk a bit and grown more hair.
"He spent the day with us and the council were keen to have him on board as we were preparing for this year's Festival of Dover and we thought he might be able to help us promote it.
"I went to the town clerk a couple of days later and said, 'that's not the man he says he is'. I believe he was confronted but I don't know what happened to him after that."
Mr Precious said that he believed the conman may have been given "a couple of glasses of wine" but had not gained anything else from the deception as far as he was aware.
He added: "I think a couple of other people had their doubts about him but they were prepared to accept it as they didn't know what Francis Rossi looked like."
He said that it was not the first time that the people of Dover had been conned by somebody pretending to be a celebrity. A year earlier a man visited several pubs in the area claiming to be Pete Townshend of The Who.
