"At last! At last!" says Duff. "See you all soon. #Lighthouse. Let's go!"
Last year McKagan spoke with Classic Rock about the Lighthouse album, revealing the story behind the title track.
"In the simplest context, it’s a love song," he said. "It’s a summation of mine and [wife] Susan’s relationship. I’m the person going across the ocean, getting washed up on the shore, and she’s the lighthouse. But also, in a broader way, during covid we were all fucking confused and freaked out: 'What’s next?' I was always looking for something beautiful to grasp on to."
Last month McKagan released an expanded edition of the album including eight additional tracks, and a live, nine-song performance video filmed at Easy Street Records in Seattle, WA.
