Ray Manzarek has been making the rounds gabbing with the music press including reporters from Billboard and Yahoo�s Launch media, announcing that, �This is the permanent new Doors lineup�.
Both Astbury and Copeland performed with the newly reformed Doors last weekend at the Harley Davison Open Road Festival in southern California. The original plans for the group�s new studio record was to have several guest musicians appear like STP�s Scott Weiland and Creed�s Scott Stapp but it now looks like Ian has the job as vocalist on a permanent basis.
The band is also adding a bass player, something new for the group who never featured a bassist before. Angelo Barbera has been tapped to play bass on the new record the group will begin recording soon.
The new studio album and a major supporting tour are expected next year.
