Suggs, the frontman of Madness, has confirmed that next year will see the release of a new Madness album.
It will be their first album since 2009's The Liberty of Norton Folgate, and their eleventh record overall. Speaking to Digital Spy, Suggs said: "It'll definitely come out next year - hopefully we'll finish it this year. We were hoping to get it done but then we decided to postpone the whole thing because we weren't completely satisfied with what we've done so far."
He continued: "We're working on it and I think that's the thing... when you're young you have all the time in the world. We don't spend 24 hours a day working on music like we used to when we were younger, so you have to do it in batches - sporadic, intense."
The band are set to perform at this weekend's Leeds and Reading Festivals, as well as September's Ultrasound Festival and November's House Of Fun Weekender.
Madness tickets are available now.
