Dr. Dre fans will have to employ the old saying ‘Good things come to those who wait' because the hip-hop icon has confessed it's unlikely his long-awaited album Detox will be released before 2011.
The rapper has been working on the highly-anticipated disc, his first since 1999's 2001, for years and had previously promised fans it would hit stores by the end of 2009.
In October, Dre revealed he was unhappy with the tracks and was heading back into the studio to perfect his songs for an expected release this year.
Dre told ABC News, "I've been working on (Detox) for the last 10 years. Hopefully I'll get it done at the end of this year and we can hear it next year."
But now the Forgot About Dre star admits fans shouldn't hold their breath for Detox just yet - because he's still too busy working on other artists' albums to complete his own.
He tells the upcoming March issue of Slam magazine, "Well, I'm working on it (Detox), but also I've been working on other people's projects; you'll probably hear something in a year or so."
