The photo was shared on Instagram with the caption: "In the studio, gearing up for the Power Up tour kicking off in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, in just one week!"

Laug deputised for Phil Rudd at Power Trip and returns for the Power Up tour, and Chaney is filling in for Cliff Williams. Williams initially retired from the band at the end of the Rock Or Bust tour in 2016, but returned for 2020's Power Up album.

Chaney was also a member of Taylor Hawkins and the Coattail Riders, and played at Wembley Stadium during the Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert.
