Guitarist Pepper to work with both bands

Down have confirmed that Pepper Keenan’s return to Corrosion Of Conformity doesn’t mean he’s left Phil Anselmo and co’s band.

The guitarist will tour with COC this year for the first time since 2006 and they also plan to work on new material.

However, Down moved quickly to assure fans that Keenan is still very much involved in their plans.

Down say in a statement: “It’s official. Down guitarist Pepper Keenan will be returning to Corrosion of Conformity for a tour of the UK and most likely more. Pepper has not left Down by any stretch. Don’t worry about that.”

COC yesterday confirmed a European tour with six UK dates included. Tickets go on sale from 9am on Friday, January 16, via LiveNation.
