**Slash** says **Guns N' Roses** will take 2027 off from touring, with the guitarist hoping the break will finally give the band an opportunity to focus on new music.

Speaking on the October 12 episode of **SiriusXM's** "Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk," **Slash** explained that **Guns N' Roses** will complete its remaining 2026 concerts in India, Indonesia, Singapore, Australia, and New Zealand before leaving the road next year.

"Next year, basically, **Guns** is off," **Slash** said. "We have so much material that needs to be organized before the band can begin working through its next creative phase."

According to **Slash**, writing individually while touring is not the problem. He, **Axl Rose**, and **Duff McKagan** regularly develop their own ideas on the road, but coordinating the entire band during an active tour has proven much more difficult.

"It doesn't work on the road," he explained, adding that getting the members together and maintaining the focus required to develop the material is "next to impossible" while touring.

The comments do not confirm that **Guns N' Roses** have scheduled recording sessions or established a release date for a new album. However, the planned touring break could provide the opening the band needs to begin turning its collection of ideas into finished songs.

**Guns N' Roses** have not released a full-length studio album since *Chinese Democracy* arrived in 2008\. Since **Slash** and **Duff McKagan** reunited with **Axl Rose** in 2016, the band has issued the singles "Absurd," "Hard Skool," "Perhaps," "The General," "Atlas," and "Nothin'."

**Slash** will not be completely inactive in 2027\. **Slash Featuring Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators** will release *Flying Blind* on February 26 before launching an extensive international tour supporting the album.
