Tool has shut down rumors that the band has completed a new album. Front man Maynard James Keenan broked the news in a statement, noting that the rumor was born of a joke from band member Adams Jones while speaking with fans. “Adam Jones, in a private conversation with fans attending the Portland Tool concert, joked that the band’s new album was not only finished but coming out the next day,” said the statement. “Unfortunately, his off-the-cuff joke was taken out of context. Work on the forthcoming album is ongoing and as soon as it is done, trust me, we will be the first to let everyone know.” Jones himself also addressed the mixup via Twitter writing: “FYI, ‘The record’s done and it’s coming out tomorrow’ is what I said yesterday, followed by ‘just kidding. . . ‘” Copyright(c) 2014 RTTNews.com.
