The band took part in a press conference at this years Sweden Rock Festival in Sölvesborg on Friday [June 6]. The group discussed their plans for the future, and hinted that a new album may be in the works.

“We both agree we don’t want to do old stuff or tour with past hits,” continued Davies. “It’s got to be something new.”

The late Adam 'MCA' Yauch stated in his will that his likeness or art, including his work with the Beastie Boys, was not to be used for advertising purposes.
