The 6th of March is drawing near and rumors about another delay of the new Guns N' Roses album are all over the net.

Longtime Guns N' Roses associate Del James has revealed in a new online posting that "Chinese Democracy" is currently in the "mixing" stage.

"Chinese Democracy" is the first Guns N' Roses album since the 1993 covers collection "The Spaghetti Incident". In the ensuing decade, the group has lost every original member besides singer Axl Rose and burned through a reported $13 million in recording expenses.

There are roumors about the release of "Chinese Democracy" every year, although this year the roumors sound true considering that for the first time Axl made an official announcement. Besides that, some demo versions of few songs leaked to internet. All we can do is to wait...

Guns N' Roses will headline South Africa's My Coke Festival in Johannesburg on April 27 and Cape Town on May 1. The band will also perform in Japan, Thailand, South Africa, South America, Mexico, Australia, and New Zealand.

Guns N' Roses did complete its first successful North American road trip in over a decade last year, along with a European trek.
