If you were beginning to wonder whether Guns N' Roses would never tour behind Chinese Democracy, you can put those questions to rest because Axl Rose and company have announced a string of Canadian dates in support of the album.

Rose will be joined by guitarists DJ Ashba, Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal and Richard Fortus, keyboardist Dizzy Reed, bassist Tommy Stinson, multi-instrumentalist Chris Pitman and drummer Frank Ferrer on the trek, who will begin rehearsing for the tour shortly. Tickets go on sale Friday morning through Ticketmaster and Live Nation for shows in Regina, Ottawa, Toronto, London, Ont. and Hamilton, Ont.

The dates are part of the Chinese Democracy world tour, which kicks off in Asia this December. No American dates have been announced yet.
