SEBASTIAN BACH will hit the road with Guns N' Roses on their "Chinese Democracy" tour beginning October 20 at the Vets Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, FL (see below for full itinerary).

"We are so excited to be going on tour with Guns N' Roses," said Bach. "I have waited for the perfect opportunity to tour North America again, and this is absolutely the greatest tour any of us could ever imagine being on. It has been over ten years since I have screamed in a lot of these arenas, and there are many places on this tour I have dreamed of playing but never have...until now - Madison Square Garden, Air Canada Center, The Palace of Auburn Hills are just some of the hallowed halls I get to rock in on this tour."

Bach's connections with Guns N' Roses is tight. The vocalist opened a number of GN'R European and U.S. Dates this past summer, and, over the course of the tour, joined Axl Rose onstage several times for a duet of "My Michelle." Bach's previous band, Skid Row, opened GN'R's "Use your Illusion" tour in 1991.

For the past three years, Bach's band has consisted of Metal Mike Chlasciak/guitar, Bobby Jarzombek/drums, Steve DiGiorgio/bass, and Johnny Chromatic/guitar.

In September, Bach returned to Australia for two concerts - his first time there since 1993 - and also became only the second rock/metal band ever to perform in China (Deep Purple was the first) when he played the Beijing Pop Festival.

In addition to touring the world, Bach has been busy developing a television career and working on a new album. Teaming up with producer Roy Z (Bruce Dickinson, Rob Halford, Judas Priest), Bach recently completed recording "Angel Down," which is due out next year and his first solo CD since 1999's "Bring 'Em Bach Alive," and first release since 2004's "Forever Wild" DVD. The singer recently split from Artemis Records and is currently considering several label offers.

Bach recently shot three episodes of the popular Canadian mockumentary TV series "Trailer Park Boys," guesting as a model railroad enthusiast. Over the summer, he starred with Ted Nugent, Jason Bonham, Scott Ian and Even Seinfeld on VH-1's number one-rated reality show, "Supergroup." On September 28, he performed "18 and Life" with contestant Hal Sparks on the season finale of Fox's "Celebrity Duets." In addition, Bach is now in his fourth season playing the role of Gil, the guitarist in Lane Kim's band on the popular CW series, "Gilmore Girls."

Sebastian Bach has also appeared on Broadway several times ("Rocky Horror Show," "Jesus Christ Superstar," "Jekyll & Hyde"). He hosted the VH-1 series "Forever Wild," and he and his family were featured on VH-1's "I Married...Sebastian Bach."
