Velvet Revolver will unveil their new singer in a few weeks.

The group - who have been searching for a new frontman since the departure of Scott Weiland last April - have finally drawn up a shortlist of potential replacements, and say none of them are famous already.

After Scott left we said, 'OK, we're just going to find a guy in the next couple of weeks

Bassist Duff McKagan said: "It's down to a couple of guys. That's way down from the 400 original guys we got submissions from.

"It's not like Chris Cornell or one of those guys. We just want someone that fits. It can't just be good. It has to be amazing or we won't do it."

Duff admits that the group have found the search for a new singer much more difficult than they had anticipated.

He added to Rolling Stone magazine: "We thought it was going to be real easy.

"After Scott left we said, 'OK, we're just going to find a guy in the next couple of weeks. It's going to be easy.' You start hearing all these singers and you're like, 'This guy's really good. That guy's really good. Wait? Was that guy any good?' You start getting really confused."
