"Sahara" is the first single from the forthcoming album Slash & Friends – which is due for release in 2010.

Slash released a two-track CD single in Japan on November 11th via Universal Music containing "Sahara" and a cover of the Guns N' Roses classic "Paradise City" featuring Cypress Hill and Stacy"Fergie" Ferguson from the Black Eyed Peas.

Other guests set to perform on his upcoming album include Kid Rock, M. Shadows,Myles Kennedy, Dave Grohl, Flea, Chris Cornell, Iggy Pop, Alice Cooper, andOzzy Osbourne.

In related news, Slash will see Roadrunner Records (the guitarist's European record label) enter into a unique and innovative association with a UK media partner — the special-interest media group Future.

In a brand new concept in record distribution the standard album release will be preceded by a "fan pack," in which the Roadrunner Records album will be bundled together with a highly collectable special issue of Future Publishing's Classic Rock magazine dedicated to Slash's career.

This will be the first format of the album available anywhere in the world.
