London: Slash, the Velvet Revolver guitarist, has denied reports that the band is breaking up but indicated that lead singer Scott Weiland might leave the group.

Weiland had announced on stage recently that their present tour would be their last. Slash has indicated that Weiland might leave the band for good since he will join his former band Stone Temple Pilots for a reunion in a few months, contactmusic.com reports.

Slash said: "There will be a third album. We don't know how or when but the core four guys will continue."
