The band have been on hiatus since firing the singer in 2008, regrouping just once for a charity show in 2013. Despite Weiland's attempts at talking up his relationship with his former colleagues, guitarist Slash last year stated he'd never work with the vocalist again.

But Weiland tells La Press: "There is no problem. I even called the guys to propose the idea of doing some shows together in a few months. We are on good terms - but I don't want to be a member of Velvet Revolver full-time. If possible I'd like to only play at festivals. You know, to make easy money."
