Velvet Revolver/ex-Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan's current project, Duff McKagan's Loaded, has reportedly been confirmed as one of the second-stage performers at Crüe Fest 2 tour, Mötley Crüe's version of Ozzfest which features additional support from Godsmack, Theory Of A Deadman, Drowning Pool and Charm City Devils. As a result, Duff McKagan's Loaded's previously announced short run of U.S. club dates, which was scheduled for later this week, has been canceled.
"Sick", the new full-length album from Duff McKagan's Loaded, sold around 1,400 copies in the United States in its first week of release, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The CD landed at position No. 43 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.
