Several tracks from the album have already leaked, after it was apparently completed in June with a rumoured cost in the region of $30m.

The date for the release of Chinese Democracy has been ongoing for years, prompting soft drinks company Dr Pepper to offer a free can of fizzy pop to the entire population of America should the album see the light of day before the end of 2008.

No date has been announced for the UK as yet.
