Tool reveal new album finally making progressMarch 16, 2015 - 16:47 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Tool have revealed that the multi-million dollar lawsuit brought against them by their insurance company is over, and their new album is finally making progress. The band also revealed that one member has been battling a "do-or-die, serious illness," Gigwise reports. It was reported last summer that the band were battling a multi-million dollar lawsuit, after their insurance company sued them over "technicalities" in a copyright case. The case has now been settled, with Tool leaving victorious. In a new interview with Yahoo! Music, guitarist Adam Jones said, "We would have had an album out a long time ago. We would have been taking more tours. But we’ve been discouraged and distracted by this major lawsuit, which is the worst thing that’s ever happened to us." Jones also revealed that an unnamed member of the band had been dealing with a "do-or-die serious illness", adding, "When you're trying to write music and you have that eating away at you - this person you're married to and you love and hate at the same time has something they're dealing with that's out of their control - it's distracting." The new Tool album, which is currently untitled, is expected to be released by the end of the year.
