Weiland helped spark the rumors that Velvet Revolver are actively looking for a new singer. During an interview with iChill, he said, "I heard they're auditioning new singers again. Maybe I should go to the cattle call. It's a difficult situation. You've got the guys from Velvet Revolver and Guns N' Roses in a band. Who's really going to (step in)? We did make it work and see success, but it's hard."

McKagan spoke with VH1 Radio Network (via Rocket995.com) and had this to say about the auditions rumor. "I'm not aware that we're auditioning [any singers] right now and I think I would be aware."

Duff also addressed the idea of reuniting with Weiland. He said, "No, that played itself out. That was a chapter in life, you know, not a defining moment, just a chapter, and I wish that guy the best of luck and I hope he's okay."
